"With frequent releases, using automation to perform regression testing can save us huge amount of time and resources.""I like the Help feature in UFT One. For example, if you are navigating a particular window, where there are different options. One wouldn’t know the purpose of every option, but there is no need to search because that window contains a Help button. If you click on that Help button, it directly navigates to the respective help needed. VBScript is very easy to understand and easy to prepare scripts with minimal learning curve.""We have used it for the web and Windows-based applications. It is very productive in terms of execution.""Has improved our organization by allowing us to obtain fast, detailed information about the behavior of our products and to supply this to the customer, enabling us to work together without the need for special programming knowledge.""It is easy to automate and new personnel can start learning automation using UFT One. You don't have to learn any scripting.""Micro Focus UFT One is a great tool and can be used in a variety of ways.""The shared repositories can be used throughout all testing which makes jobs easier.""The most valuable feature of Micro Focus UFT One is you are able to use it with many other technologies. I have not had an instance where the solution was not able to automate or execute automation. I was able to use COBOL to manage some automation."

"Tricentis Tosca is well integrated with other products like Jira.""We have multiple applications, and it supports parallel execution. It has mobile automation.""We have to automate thousands of test cases and complete end-to-end SAP on business processes. To manually execute these tasks, it would take us at least two months. By automating these tasks using Tosca, now it takes five to 10 days maximum. Tricentis Tosca is a codeless or scriptless automation tool.""The most valuable features of Tricentis Tosca are all the test automation functionality. It is a full-scale automation tool.""You can quickly build automated testing, manage it, and have it run on a regular basis to ensure that there are no issues.""We like the fact that it works across mobile, desktop, web, and APIs. Due to this, the solution has a broad range of applications.""The product enables codeless automation.""It's integrated with different technologies, desktop applications, package solutions like SAP, and mobile applications."

"The artificial intelligence functionality is applicable only on the web, and it should be expanded to cover non-web applications as well.""Sometimes, the results' file size can be intense. I wish it was a little more compact.""Micro Focus UFT One could benefit from creating modules that are more accessible to non-technical users. Without a developer background or at least basic knowledge of VBScript, using Micro Focus UFT One may not be feasible for everyone. This is something that Micro Focus, now owned by OpenText, should consider in order to cater to business professionals as well. While Micro Focus UFT One does have a recording function, it still requires a certain level of IT proficiency to create effective automation, which may be challenging for those outside of the technical field.""It should consume less CPU, and the licensing cost could be lower.""You have to deal with issues such as the firewall and how can the tool talk with the application, i.e., if the application is on a company network and so on. That, of course, is important to figure out.""Sometimes it appears that UFT takes a while to open and sometimes will run slower than expected. Also, UFT uses a lot of memory. On this note, if you are running UFT on a virtual server I would add more RAM memory than the minimum requirements especially when using multiple add-ins. HP is pretty good about coming out with new patches to fix known issues and it pays for the user to check for new patches and updates on a regular basis.""Technical support could be improved.""Scripting has become more complex from a maintenance standpoint to support additional browsers."

"Tricentis Tosca's performance could be better. Sometimes when we are remapping or when it is loading it can take a lot of time. There are free solutions that have better performance in this area.""They need to improve on the reports after the execution of automation tests, since all the current organizations are looking for detailed graphical reports.""The user management could improve in Tricentis Tosca because it is confusing. It would be better to have it in one place. Having to add it to the cloud and to a specific project can be a mess.""The tool lags in client-based applications. We have also encountered issues with the features in integrations.""While the initial setup was straightforward, we required assistance with the configuration to ensure that everything was done correctly.""First, Tricentis could improve Tosca's Linux scripting. We can automate Linux scripting, but there are a few commands that Tosca doesn't support. DVS support and the object identification mechanism could also be better.""I have found that some of the functions could be missed in the solution for new users. They are not obviously present.""I would like a better user interface."
