HP UFT, or Unified Functional Testing, has been widely utilized for automation across various organizations and projects. Users have employed it for different types of testing, including desktop application testing, cross-browser testing, and API testing. UFT one has been implemented to create a stable automation framework for multiple ways of maintenance and execution. Users have heavily implemented UFT one in ERP, Mainframe, and other ERP web applications. With UFT one, automation developers can implement clear logic using programming snippets to pass or fail scenarios. The BPT framework can be leveraged with UFT one, and it can be executed through third-party tools like Jenkins, Postman, and MF ALM.
HP UFT has been used to automate regression and functional test cases, reducing time to market and increasing delivery quality. It has been chosen based on the skill level of the existing QA team and compatibility with back-end and web service testing. The QA team quickly became proficient in UFT and automated over 2000 regression test cases in four months. HP UFT is mainly used for DevOps activities, including automated tests and continuous integration for multiple applications/products. It integrates with HP ALM for requirements management and JIRA for defect tracking.
HP UFT allows users to work with databases, execute against web services and REST services, and perform UI tests for web. Integration with HP Loadrunner enables performance testing. It is used for test automation projects across various applications, including mainframe, web, and desktop-based applications. HP UFT is also used by the testing team to automate regression testing for application implementations or enhancements on platforms like Salesforce, Oracle, PeopleSoft, or SAP. Automated tests with UFT allow multiple regression cycles to be executed without allocating testers to the task. Moreover, UFT has been used to convert a large regression suite into a robust automation suite that runs unattended for the IT department.
Simple Front End: Novice users have found the simple front end of UFT to be helpful for easily grasping the basics of automation and gaining confidence in using the tool.
Scalability: Users appreciate UFT's ability to scale up and run tests across multiple machines from a single controller, such as ALM. This capability allows them to execute hundreds of tests overnight, saving time and effort.
Active Support Community: The active support community surrounding UFT, consisting of both official HPE sources and independent users, provides a valuable resource for getting help and assistance when encountering problems with the tool. Many users have benefited from this supportive network.
Expensive Cost: Some users have found the cost of the software to be expensive, especially for startups or small organizations. They feel that the pricing makes it a very expensive tool and suggest that HP should consider offering more cost-effective alternatives.
Script Maintenance and Resource Consumption: Users report that maintaining test scripts is a pain and mention that the software is not lightweight, consuming a lot of memory. They find it frustrating when the software breaks, causing them frustration due to its simplicity of record and playback.
Limited Cross-Browser Compatibility: Some users have mentioned that UFT should improve in terms of cross-browser compatibility and supporting different operating systems, particularly Mac OS. They find frequent browser crashing issues during long execution cycles to be problematic.
Users recommend UFT for automating various applications because it covers all their needs and is easy to use. They suggest trying the trial version before purchasing and advise self-exploration. Despite acknowledging its high cost, users consider UFT as the best tool in the market for automation purposes. One user specifically highlights its usefulness for end-to-end test automation of ERP solutions as it can save time and money. However, there is a cautionary recommendation from another user who warns against purchasing the product, stating that it is unfinished and contains errors.

HPE UFT, still going strong after all this time
HPE UFT (and previously HP QTP and before that Mercury WinRunner) has long been our main test automation tool of choice and underpins the majority of our regression testing activities. 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.
- The simple front end will allow novice users to easily grasp the basics of automation and give them confidence to try things for themselves.
- UFT can scale up and run across multiple machines from a single controller, such as ALM, enabling hundreds of tests to be executed overnight.
- There is an active support community out there, both official HPE based and independent users. This means if you do encounter a problem there is always someone out there to help you.
- The later versions have many add-ins to plug in to other tools within the QA world.
- Expert users are able to utilise the many native functions and also build their own to get the most out of the tool and impress people as they walk past and see the magic happening on the screen.
- UFT also has LeanFT bundled with it, allowing automated testing at the api level - if you can convince the developers to let you in there.
- It is expensive, though different license offerings can help negate some cost.
- Don’t be fooled by the simplicity of record and playback because it will break and may cause you to lose heart and the standard HP guides only hit the basics.
- It is based on VBscript and so the language and underpinning tech is slightly dated but still works fine.
- After the initial outlay, it's soon possible to develop reusable assets and frameworks to be used throughout the different test suites.
- For one suite, ROI was achieved within 17 different runs. As this was carried out against different code drops and environments this happened in about three months.
- Proper robust automation will allow you to cover many different business scenarios in less time that manual folks will be able to just test the basics.
The only real competitor is Selenium but the simple ease and advanced features of UFT won out during the selection process. Also the ability to test against non-web based applications can come in handy.
No
We used to have extended support but as our knowledge of the tool has increased we found the standard support covered all our needs
Yes
Over the years have reported differnet levels of bugs or technical queries. In all instances HPE have come back within a timley fashion and whilst some may take longer to resolve that others this is due to the complexitiy and really pushing the tool in it's use.
We had a long ongoing issue with the tool crashing at one point. One of the actual developers out in Isreal was assigend to investigate the root cause and came up with a satisfactory solution, which since implementing the crash hasn't reoccured.
