HeadSpin vs. OpenText UFT Digital Lab

We have been using HeadSpin for our web and mobile application testing. It is an easy-to-use solution that provides detailed and in-depth analytics from the testing results. We also get a wide range of live networks and devices to perform the testing from HeadSpin. It has an inbuilt artificial intelligence engine that helps us to get real-time scenarios simulated, which is very helpful for finding performance issues and improving the overall quality of the applications.

It is well suited for companies which has geographically dispersed teams and limited devices in library. HP Mobile Center provides maximum usage of available devices on onsite, near shore and offshore models. It has distributed architecture which is very useful if your team must need physical access to device.

• We have hundreds of networking devices and headspin makes monitoring all the easier
• it has a great alert system and gives insights into what particularly might have gone wrong
• we use jenkins workflow and headspin works quite well with the pipeline

Incentivized

• Management of the various devices.
• Management of various versions and installation of our application.
• Allow real device interactions like Biometrics.
• Simple to use interface for any manual tester.
• Works in any browser.
• Easy management of signed/packaged apps in Android and iOS.

Incentivized

• UI is very slow and sometimes it is stuck and becomes very difficult to operate and work on
• Functionality to upload build does not function as intended to and lags

Incentivized

• I would like to see stability in connection for connected devices in case of network failure, reboots and restarts
• I would like to see shorter support cycle for patch and updates from OS makers
• I would like to see a dedicated HPMC support center, where users can call-in and get answers as this a brand new product.

The tool continues to meet our expectations and has shown that they are continually evolving the product with new features that benefit us. The most recent new feature was the auto-signing/packaging of iOS apps from the server to allow native interaction of features like biometrics. Prior this was a lengthy exercise.

Headspin lets you test your code for performance, security, usability, and reliability. It also has some fantastic features that make it easy for developers to understand what's going on in their code. Headspin is a great tool to use when compared to LambdaTest. Headspin supports Appium, Appium Inspector, and Selenium, making it easier than ever before to develop such capabilities. However, LambdaTest offers only Appium and Selenium.

HP Mobile Center stacks well against solutions like Mobile Labs Device Connect, Perfecto Mobile and Device Anywhere. Its native integration with HP ALM and HP UFT makes it a clear choice for team already using those solutions. HP Mobile Center also provides extension to Amazon Device Library.

Incentivized

• Simplified the approach to test the mobile application on multiple devices from different vendors. This helped us to ensure the stability of the application in different environments.
• In-depth analysis to understand the loopholes in the application design function. This helped us to improve the application design and overall user experience.

Incentivized

• Efficient use of the devices. Reduced the idle time.
• Better control over access and user management. Testing within our controlled environments.
• Better control of device matrix.
• Faster testing cycles. Early design bugs to development teams. Real devices means, less guess work.
