- 3. Introduction to UFT (Unified Functional Testing) Unified Functional Testing (QuickTest Professional), popularly known by its acronym UFT is an automation testing tool originally from Mercury Interactive which was acquired by Hewlett Packard (HP) in 2006. UFT is primarily used for functional, regression and service testing. UFT is widely used to automate user actions on a web or client based computer application and test the same.
- 4. Some basics about UFT… It’s a commercial tool by HP Its mostly used for Automation Testing UFT/QTP is based on scripting language VB script It supports largest pool of software development environments like SAP, Oracle etc..
- 5. New features in UFT over QTP Unified Functional Testing(UFT) = QuickTest Pro(QTP) + Service Test(ST) Multiple script Debugging Mobile Testing Support Support Open Source CI Systems PDF Check points
- 6. Need for using UFT Enables functional tests to be carried out automatically to increase the speed and cost effectiveness of application development and delivery. Helps to reduce cost and increase ROI. UFT comes with an inbuilt IDE, which is simple and easy to use. Only tool available to automate desktop based applications.
- 7. Advantages of UFT over other tools It supports wide range of protocols and applications HP UFT has introduced Service or API testing in new version. HP UFT manages exception handling using recovery scenarios; the goal is to continue running tests if an unexpected failure occurs Object recognition feature is very advanced in UFT, it has object spy , smart identification tools which can easily identify objects. Mobile testing also extended in UFT.
- 8. Testing Process in UFT Design OR •Identity Objects •Create Object Repository Scripting •Design Test Scripts •Create Test scripts Run •Debug •Execute Tests
- 9. UFT / QTP Test Script A QTP/UFT Test Script consists of Solution Action Data table S No File Types Extension 1 Test script file .mts 2 Action .mst 3 Data table .xls 4 Local Object repository .mtr 5 Shared Object repository .tsr 6 Library Files .qfl 7 Batch Files .mtb
- 10. Limitations of UFT Cost is extremely high – License and maintenance. Cannot run multiple threads/instances – For example the Grid support available in Selenium, where we can run multiple instances of the application on different browsers at the same time. Slow in execution when compared to even open source tools like Selenium. You need to buy different addins – Java, Oracle, SAP, .Net, Seibel, Peoplesoft etc. Requires skilled automation testers.
