Opentext functional Testing Reviews & Product Details

UFT supports VB scripting and it has wide support for automating many different UIs and applications. It all comes with different plugins. Record and play is the very easy and simple method to use with UFT but usually we use the recording option at the base level and integrate that code with our automation framework. It has very good integration with Micro Focus ALM and so the test and defect management are very easy. It can also integrate with GIT for version control. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

UFT always requires some framework to be developed which sometimes makes it more complex. It supports only VB Scripting and so there are many limitations in coding. The object repository management is also not that good. UFT sometimes hangs or shows many issues in normal use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Micro Focus UFT is a very good software for test automation because it handles different types of software, is simple to use and It's easily integrated with ALM and Jenkins. The record works really good and most of the time, is very useful. For test scenarios that require multiple executions with different data for each execution Micro Focus UFT is the best choice.

The license is too expensive. It should be able to use other programming languages instead of only VBScript. It's not efficient, I am using Micro Focus UFT on a reasonable good laptop with an Intel i7 8Gen, 16Gb of ram and most of the time it runs slow when executing tests.

The Idea behind it that people with almost no programming skill can write tests. Thats it. Every other aspect of this product is bad. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

This product is highly frustrating to work with. It all feels static and slow. There are a handful of features but almost all of them did not work when released and most still do not work properly and crash the whole application from time to time. That is the biggest problem. Constant errors with no hint to what caused the problem, random crashes where no message is shown and all unsaved work is lost. Working with ALM and UFT together is highly problematic. Having two programs, one acting as the structural component and the other as the development component only works if there is a high frequency of communication between the two. There is not. Having the same functions in some parts like check-in and check-out mechanisms makes this important. The two programs sync every hour once. Yes, once. That means when UFT crashes, which it does, a lot, you will have to manually have an admin unlock it or wait up to an hour. Furthermore is the framework limited. There are many Elements UFT understands but a lot of things have to be done by work-around, this defeats the purpose of having a product that can be handled by people with little know how. To add to the disaster, the actual performance is excruciatingly bad. This product is used in my company for test automation and is by far the slowest scripted UI I have ever seen, and because of all the problems, working with it, I always thought: “why don’t we just code the test?” The only reason not to use other UI-drivers and automation through coding would have been usability. Small tests that consist of maybe 5 clicks a dropdown and one edit are manageable. Anything more complex will not work properly and falsify test outcomes due to errors occurring randomly. Since HPE couldn’t realize this, I can only conclude that this product has no use for test automation. This product will slowly fade away until UFT realizes that they should stop announcing new features when the base product isn’t even finished. Do not buy this. It will only cost you money and drive your employees mad. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The automatic recording of tests as you are navigating around the application. It also generates VB Script in the background automatically. We can test web applications, mobile applications, and desktop applications. It has a simple user interface. We can reuse the script in your tests. It supports all types of database checkpoints.

So far I have nothing that I dislike about UFT. It takes a lot of memory while recording the application and the cost is more expensive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

1. Techie friendly,

2. Very efficient,

3. Have solution for complex things

4. Integration part is minimal (test managing tools)

5. Easy to setup (made one-click setup)

6. Comes with VB script.

7. Great in performance.

8. Meets any kind of application Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

1. Still they can optimize the things in a lot of places.

2. The add-ins part is a bit awful.

3. Need to make any lighter version Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

1) Easy to use

2) Very helpful for beginners also for QA automation

3) Gives us Record and Play back, can be used by freshers

4) It uses VB Scripting which is again a very simple coding language.

5) I liked the inbuilt checkpoints feature and also Object Repository.

6) Results viewer is again a super tool for UFT results analysis

7) We can also record an execution of the script using 'Mirco Player' and save it for future purposes, which I have used for delivering script/execution demos team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is slow if we have to load all the add-ins from Add-In manager while launching UFT. Also, it crashes sometimes when working on IE browser and results won't be generated at least till the point where the script has been crashed giving me a hard time to go back and rerun the entire script again especially if I have to run over 100 test cases per execution :( Also, this is a licensed tool.

it can perform multiple tests simultaneously, we can change test, debug tests and manage parameters.It allows running distributed tests on multiple machines.The versatility of it means it is also used to load data for the training department to use thus speeding up their work too. Without a robust automation suite, businesses would not be competitive in this day and age and for me, UFT helps to fulfill that need with ease. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is a bit slow and acts erratically.Not a good support from hp for any issue.a lot CPU utilization which makes the performance altogether low. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

UFT provides the ideal one-stop-shop for integrating the testing of different application frameworks into one test IDE that can manage it all. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Price and a significant learning and implementation overhead. It is not easy (as it is not with many other tools) to just get up and go. The more powerful and larger scope testing you have, the longer it will take to developer the framework. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

This used to be good automation app. This is like old school app for automation testing. I automated almost all types of apps using this tool. (e.g. web app, desktop app). Never used it for mobile app automation. Supports wide variety of frameworks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Thing I do not like about this app is its size. This is too heavy app. And looking at current open source app availability, this is less used in industry now. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like the best for its designing and a tool for testing to try out the iOS & Android devices. From the view of a newbie, I love the trial version of a period of 60 days. Bro, who gives so? Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Contrary to the best, a $2000+ for a startup company would be a little bit expensive if paid in dollars. Continents like Asia, developing countries like India. Basically, I am disliking it for its communication towards users. I am trying to sign up/reset password, waiting minutes, and no email has been received, and yeah, I checked my spam as well.
