New Features in UFT One 15.0.2

This version provides enhancements for faster and smarter testing, thereby helping testers reduce test creation and execution time, boost test coverage, increase the resiliency of testing assets, and cut down on test maintenance efforts.

1. AI-based testing enhancements-

UFT One's newly introduce AI-based testing continues to revolutionize and intelligently-power the way humans test. The latest enahancements within UFT One 15.0.2 offer the ability to-

  • Record AI test steps
  • Learn AI objects on application mockups and prepare  AI-based tests before application is developed
  • Run existing tests with the "AI Transformation Assistant" enabled to get suggestions for changing technology-based test steps to AI-based test steps
  • Automatically scroll to find objects
  • Create checkpoints to specify the test conditions application must meet
  • Provide an image file as a class description to support a control that UFT One AI does not recognize
  • Install UFT One’s AI features directly through the Installation Wizard
  • Save your feedback locally and send it to Micro Focus later if an internet connection isn’t available
  • Perform operations on “AIText” objects and on additional control types

These AI-based testing enhancements enable teams using UFT One to accelerate the creation of automation assets and reduce the maintenance effort required to match the pace of application changes.

2. New Spy

UFT One's new spy, known as the Object Identification Center (OIC), is visually -intuitive tool for designing tests with greater flexibility and ultramodern functionality. It supports the same feature functionality that original Object Spy does, but introduce a number of new capabilities that allow we to.

  1. Spy on multiple objects.
  2. Add multiple objects to our test or to object repositories.
  3. Modify the test object's description properties to customize the object's identification.
  4. Add objects to external object repositories that are not associated to the current test.

while the OIC is available as a technical preview in this version, it is now the default spying tool. we can still use the original Object Spy tool if you prefer.

3. Performance Acceleration

Performance speeds have been improved to accelerate test process and reduce test times. This includes.

Web : Accelerated web - based testing on chrome, chromium Edge and Firefox.

Insight Recording : Higher-degree of accuracy, speed and ease of use for object identification.

Standard Windows : Improved speeds for testing standard windows-based objects.

Business Process Testing(BPT) - Dramatically reduce test execution times when compared to previous BPT versions.

4. Parallel execution for API Testing -

Fire your API tests on all cylinders by running multiple tests simultaneously.

In UFT One 15.0.2 we can now use the ParallelRunner CLI tool to run up to four API tests in parallel.

5. Mobile Testing Enhancements -

In combination with the UFT Mobile 3.5 release, UFT One 15.0.2 introduces enhancements designed to streaming processes and increase testing efficiencies for mobile testing.

6. Technology Improvements-

UFT One 15.0.2 improves its testability and ease-of-use with a number of new enhancements for targeted areas, including the following technologies.

7. Text-based test objects

Text based test objects are now fully supported in this version, providing the ability to.

  1. Add Test-based test objects to our object repository.
  2. Record steps on Text-based test objects
  3. Create "text and text area checkpoints" and "Output values" on Text-based test objects.
  4. Uniquely describe Text-based test objects using ordinal identifiers such as location, index and VRI.

  • Azure DevOps: When running UFT One tests on an Azure DevOps Server, we can now view the test run results in detail within the Azure DevOps Server UI.
  • Bamboo: We can now pass input parameters to UFT One tests when you run them from a Bamboo server.

Version control support

UFT One 15.0.2 provides the following enhancements when using version control.

  • Object Repositories: Merge and resolve object repository conflicts using the Asset Comparison Tool.
  • Function Libraries: Function libraries saved as .qfl or .txt files are now saved in UTF-8 encoding, enabling we to compare, merge, and manage them in Git.
