Test Automation: 6 Reasons UFT One is The Only Tool You Need

UFT One Automation Heavy Lifting

In the fast-paced world of software development, functional testing is critical to ensure your solutions perform as expected. Unlike manual testing, which is time-consuming and prone to human error, test automation streamlines the testing process, offering a faster, more accurate, cost-effective solution.

By automating repetitive tasks, developers and testers can focus on more complex and creative problem-solving, significantly enhancing productivity and software quality.

Furthermore, test automation facilitates continuous integration and delivery (CI/CD), enabling teams to quickly identify and address defects, thus accelerating the development cycle and improving the software’s resilience.

There is an array of automation tools available, but OpenText UFT One is the standout choice, offering a complete solution for all your needs.

In this insight, we look at six reasons why UFT One is the only functional testing tool you’ll ever need.

2025 top testing articles

2025 Roundup: Check Out The Top 5 Testing Times Articles

Thanks to your support, 2025 was another excellent year for Testing Times and our 10,000+ subscribers. We explored a wide range of software testing topics, including test automation, performance testing, Jira fatigue, tester authority, and more. Below is a quick look at the five newsletters with the most reactions this year, and why they resonated so strongly.

Is WFH worth the risk

Remote Testing: Is Working From Home Worth The Risk?

Increasingly, organisations expect remote and hybrid testers to use borrowed tool licences, unstable VPNs, and software never designed to leave the office. That creates significant compliance and security risks that can turn into serious long‑term problems. It’s not the testers per se, but remote execution over on‑prem licences is a software audit waiting to happen. Read on to learn why a compliance nightmare isn’t the only reason your test setup might not be fit for distributed and home‑working team members.

Effortless automation

Solved: 4 Common Test Automation Headaches

Software teams know the story all too well: automation promises speed and reliability, but reality often brings fragile scripts, phantom failures, and endless rework. In the end, the technology intended to accelerate releases ends up bogging things down. Or at least, that’s how things used to be… Today’s AI-powered functional

Test the Untestable

Test the Untestable: Unlock Savings & Accelerate Your Project

Testers have long been asked to test earlier, faster, and more often. In truth, however, when critical APIs, integrations, or microservices aren’t ready, testing gets stuck. We’ve all been there, raring to go, like greyhounds in the slips…  but with nothing to test, and increasingly concerned about the impending last-minute panic.

The Test Tools You Need

Testers: Will We Finally Get The Tools We Need?

During the 2008 credit crunch, companies slashed technical investment. The mantra “do more with less” stuck—and 17 years later, testers are still paying the price as demands, complexity, and expectations have soared. It’s no coincidence that we’re witnessing an increasing number of high-profile software failures and cyber attacks. Yet, there’s still little willingness to invest in the right test tools and training.

Test Automation Fails Smaller Teams

Why Test Automation Fails for Smaller Teams

Many small software teams turn to test automation, expecting substantial time and cost savings. However, they often fail to achieve any of these goals; instead of seeing a return on investment, they end up spending more effort and cost fixing their automation packs. This failure can leave lasting scars, deterring people from embracing automation and realising its many benefits…

breaking up with legacy tools

When to Move on From Legacy Test Tools

I often speak to people who want to abandon legacy test tools and transition to shiny new solutions. They cite several reasons for the switch, many of which are valid, while others need greater consideration to avoid a negative or costly outcome. On the other hand, I also speak to people who are reluctant to ever change tools, even though they’d see incredible benefits.

Shift Left

Shift Left Testing: 4 Myths and Why They Matter

Shift-left testing has become one of the most talked-about software development ideas. It sounds deceptively simple: test earlier in the process to avoid late surprises. But while the phrase is repeated at countless conferences and stand-ups, it is often misunderstood, misapplied, or reduced to a box-ticking activity (like many other testing initiatives).

Is speed destroying quality

Are Faster Releases Destroying Software Quality?

The relentless obsession with ever-faster software delivery puts increased pressure on projects and teams, forcing them to adopt new processes and behaviours, but at what cost? The need for speed has transformed release frequency into a core metric, but is this relentless pursuit of speed undermining quality?

AI in software testing

AI in Software Testing: Just Another Fad?

AI is everywhere. The software testing industry is flooded with buzzword-heavy solutions, and you’d be hard pressed to find a vendor that hasn’t marked at least one of their tools as AI-powered. But is AI another in a long list of cautionary tales, or does it genuinely herald a new era?
