How UFT One Compares to Other Test Automation Tools
Selenium vs UFT One
Selenium is often compared to UFT One; Selenium should really be compared to UFT Developer as they are both more technical automation tools. However, as its asked so often, here is the Selenium vs UFT One comparison:
- UFT One has a much wider range of application support, including mobile, desktop, messaging or API, and web. It is easy to use, has a huge user base and has a flexible, but paid license.
- Selenium is built for web automation and requires development skills to implement. Selenium is open source, so no license costs, but this is outweighed by the slower development and maintenance timelines, and increased resource cost.
Tricentis Tosca vs UFT One
Tosca is primarily a ‘script-less’ automation tool, designed for business users. While this sounds great in theory, Tosca provides very restricted automation. Imagine trying to paint the Mona Lisa with a paint roller; your testers can’t get into the detail. Tosca does offer some AI benefits, although it lacks the extensive coverage and maturity of UFT One. Tosca also has low adoption, with very few seasoned users compared to UFT One’s huge community of experts.
- UFT One is designed to be used across the development team; testers (keyword view), automation engineers (code view) and business users (business process view) can create powerful automation scripts. UFT One has far greater adoption and many more users.
- Tricentis Tosca is built for business analysts and SMEs. Tosca’s ‘Vision AI’ offers similar capabilities to UFT One, but this requires significant time investment during initial creation. Tosca is script-less and lacks the control or flexibility offered by code-driven automation tools.
