Keynote Systems (Discontinued) vs. OpenText UFT Digital Lab

It is totally suited for start ups that are developing an app. With Keynote they will be able to test it and to have some feedback about the bugs that it may have, even before they launch it. It will help you have a better product once it's launched.

UFT mobile works really well if/when you need physical devices under your management. Managing physical devices in any setup is an interesting undertaking due to the various considerations per device. There are really nice best practices, for example using managed USB switches like the one from Cambrionix, that can help make for a really good experience. For us, we only have 1 application at this time that has frequent updates/releases. We are able to test out these with confidence using our suite of real/on-campus devices managed and made available by the UFT Mobile product.

Incentivized

• User simulation
• Multidevice test
• Great monitorization of your app's performance

Incentivized

• Remote access to real devices within your organization network as compared to public devices library offering, where their is a risk of exposing pre-production builds outside the organization.
• "Factory built like" integration with HP ALM, HP Sprinter, HP UFT and HP Network Virtualization.
• Ability to mimic real world conditions in a controlled environment in the devices of your choice.
• Removed the guess work out of using emulators
• Able to extend automation to mobile testing using HP UFT.

Incentivized

• It's difficult to use it if you are not an expert
• The code is difficult to implement depending on the format

Incentivized

• Most of our problems are with the lengthy onboarding process with iOS devices.
• Occasionally Android devices will disconnect themselves.

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.

We used Keynote Systems because it's easier to use it by yourself and you can prepare your own app and do the testing with the target you are addressing it to.

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

• It helped us to find some critical errors before we launched it
• We launched the final version with a great feedback

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.
