OpenText UFT One Stability
CT
Chris Trimper
Test Automaton Architect at Independent Health
I have had tests run for one minute because that is all they need. I have also had tests, not because the tool is slow but because sometimes the application for testing is slow, that have run for five hours straight with no issue.
I haven't really had any stability issues. There have been times where if I leave the ID open for five or six days in a row, then it gets cranky. However, I don't know if that is Windows or my ID.
For the most part, we are in kind of a weird place for maintenance. We just did our first big launch of this newly revised app this past year-end. Unfortunately, they kept making a lot of changes that would have broken any system anywhere out there. Lately, they have made a bunch of changes to the login process, trying to work things out, and our scripts never failed. So, there was zero maintenance required for that.

I give the stability a nine out of ten.
View full review »My company has not had an issue with OpenText UFT One since we have been using it for the past three to four years. My company did not face any issues with the testing capabilities of the product, but we need to consider rationalizing the technology and toolsets present in our organization. There were some challenges with the product, but there were people in our company who were not from the development team to take care of the part that involved scripting. With the product, most of the automation part was taken care of by the testing team in our company. There weren't many differences in our company due to the issues in the solution because of how our company had outsourced certain work for which we were paying anyway.

View full review »The stability of Micro Focus UFT One is very good and compatible with SAP ECC, which is a component of it.
In my opinion, and based on my implementation knowledge. In our environment, it is very stable when working with my SAP legacy application, but now with SAPS/4HANA, which is hosted in the cloud. Micro Focus has a long way to go for those systems, in my opinion.
Because of SAP, I would rate the stability a five out of ten.

I think it's a stable product because it's been around for well over 14, 15 years now. And I think it's stabilized QTP and UFT.

The stability is very good, except for the example I mentioned regarding the data table. Most of the time you can switch to the next version without any problems. The old features and behaviors are, in terms of the code base, the same. It’s just that you have to find the icons, asking yourself “Where is my feature?” But the stability is very good.
It is a stable solution. I rate its stability as an eight.

UFT One was generally stable and didn't have significant downtime or performance issues. The only notable drawback was its slower performance during certain tasks.
It's stable.

The solution is very stable.
View full review »I have been using this product for six years. When it totally changes in a new version, the stability is not very good. For example, when we changed from version 11 to 12, from my point of view it was a mess. It was totally not ready to go into production in companies. Now it very much seems to work for some things. It is not stable, of course; but remember that we are working on different environments. It could be that something doesn't work.
View full review »It’s awfully stable. Not even something I consider, to be honest, in regards to UFT. It's always worked for the last ten years. It just works.

The stability is pretty good with respect to the traditional functionality, which has been existing for years. Some of the new features might not be as stable. In particular, there is a little bit of instability with the AI features that I have observed. I think that this is acceptable given that it is new.

The solution is 70-80% stable. Stability really depends on the servers or the license which we have installed. If the license doesn't reach the server, there's less stability.
View full review »In the past three years it's become a lot more stable. Prior to that, we saw a lot of issues with stability and a lot of patching and concern from our internal customers that they couldn't rely on the tool to always be there when they needed it.

We haven't faced many issues with UFT One in terms of stability. If your system meets the requirements they indicate, you should not face problems. In a machine where we had less memory, we did have some trouble. Since we upgraded the memory for that machine, we have not faced any memory issues or stability issues with UFT One.
View full review »I'd say it's a very stable application. I'm still kind of learning UFT, so, it varies by application. I run into issues sometimes with object identification, but, other than that, it's a pretty solid application.
View full review »It's been stable for us.
View full review »I's pretty stable but obviously it has many issues that come up, especially during test automation for which you don't have a direct or easy solution. Then you have to go back to the product team or to forums and analyze it. I think HPE should look into these areas.

UFT One provides pretty good stability.
View full review »The application will occasionally crash or be unable to reach the License Server which causes test suites to fail.
View full review »We don’t have any stability issues at the moment. Some of the issues that we've had really would be around browsers and browser compatibility. But that's mainly to do with in-house issues, because the industry that I'm in can be a bit slow to adapt new browsers and new software. It's more the way that it interacts with that, than the application itself that causes stability problems.
View full review »When debugging code in UFT, it would crash, freeze and hang a lot.
View full review »Stability can be an issue, and the weaker the resources on the machine running UFT the more likely there will be problems.

View full review »I have faced some issues while running automation scripts. Sometimes loop variable named as “i” do not actually perform its functionality. By changing the variable name the purpose is resolved. The stability of test scripts running is not very good when we change the names of actions.
View full review »It's fairly stable, but the problem is that it's not always updated and current. When something new comes up, it takes HP a long time to support it.
View full review »We have to download it, then install it on our own machines and the machines sometimes aren't stable; since we have PDIs, also the UFT isn't stable and I don't know yet where the connection is.
