Needs Improvement

Micro Focus UFT One has many features which are easy to learn and use but it still has a room of improvement where Micro Focus UFT One should improve its compatibility with cross browsing and different OS platform and Mobile Testing. Micro Focus UFT One has both GUI and API testing so there is no way to run independent test of UFT. Micro Focus UFT One integration with ALM runs test efficiently but it do not do the same when runs on other browser. Micro Focus UFT One do not support Object Oriented Programming Language, it should support new languages such as RubyRail, Python and other advanced language . Micro Focus UFT One should support more formats of reporting like Excel, CSV, XML, XSLT as of now it only supports either HTML or PFD in short/ detailed format. Micro Focus UFT One comes with a high price licensing which makes it an expensive tool due to which users/organization explores other option on license free tools like Selenium.
