OpenText LoadRunner Professional vs. OpenText UFT Digital Lab

Micro Focus LoadRunner is good for scripting and running a load test, but should be providing better customer service in case of user facing any issues.

It is well suited for companies which has geographically dispersed teams and limited devices in library. HP Mobile Center provides maximum usage of available devices on onsite, near shore and offshore models. It has distributed architecture which is very useful if your team must need physical access to device.

• Support of multiple protocols like HTTP, RDP, Citrix, SAP, Oracle Database 12c, AJAX Tru Client, SOAP-based calls and others which is why it is used widely in our organization as we are using various applications in an industry for different usage.
• Supporting the mobile agents which means it is not only used for web applications but also for mobile applications.
• Latest version of HP LoadRunner makes the scripting easy by replacing dynamic changes in the script using correlation parameters. This means less coding and we can focus on major issues if needed.
• Controller enhancements by specifying the cloud provider like Digital Ocean. We can provision our load generators with Amazon EC2, DigitalOcean and others.
• Analysis provides a nice HTML report on the test executed with all the necessary metrics. We can simply put more analysis if needed and it will be automatically embedded in an HTML report.

• Management of the various devices.
• Management of various versions and installation of our application.
• Allow real device interactions like Biometrics.
• Simple to use interface for any manual tester.
• Works in any browser.
• Easy management of signed/packaged apps in Android and iOS.

• Monitoring tools like SiteScope, AppDynamics should be used apart from HP Performance Center. Would be great if the tool can give good monitoring on app and db servers.
• As the load goes high, the cost increases. In the open source world, it's not a bad idea to consider the licensing cost.

• I would like to see stability in connection for connected devices in case of network failure, reboots and restarts
• I would like to see shorter support cycle for patch and updates from OS makers
• I would like to see a dedicated HPMC support center, where users can call-in and get answers as this a brand new product.

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.

Customer service is not that great. It's difficult to get hold of someone if an issue is supposed to be addressed on an urgent basis. No online chat service readily available.

Micro Focus LoadRunner fit well into our portfolio of tools with its long track record, ability to test near any application technology we adopt and allow for a single / cohesive toolset to drive our performance testing needs.

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.

• It has a positive impact as we know how PE testing is (performance).
• It helps with integrating data from various data streams and includes anomaly testing.
• It does a good job with the accuracy of results. The results are very accurate.

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.
