What is UFT Roshan Masood | Software Test Engineer

Long ago in a galaxy far, far away, testers were computer-savvy non-programmers. Their job was to use the product before customers did. In doing so, they could find the bugs, report them to the developers, and get them fixed. This was a happy world but it couldn't last …..

HP’s Unified Functional Testing

So WHT is UFT ?

• Basically “Unified Functional Testing” (UFT) is a license type that allows you

to integrate QuickTest Pro with Service Test.

• Unified Functional Testing (including Quick Test Professional, all add-ins,

Service Test and Service Test Management) is HP's main automated

functional testing tool.

• If you only have an “FT-Unified” license for QTP and ST, you will not be able

to use the built-in integration ability of either product.

• QTP enables functional tests to be carried out automatically. After an initial

investment of effort to record and configure a script, the script can be run

again and again to verify the functionality of an application under test.

• How do I create a new test?

• How do I work with the Unified Functional Testing panes?

• How do I create a test step?

• How do I data drive the step?

• How do I connect test steps?

• How do I map data from multiple sources?

Down to the Good Stuff

• Most of the panes in the Unified Functional Testing interface, are floating, dock able windows. To

show the default panes in their original positions:

select View > Reset Window Layout

The primary panes are:

• Solution Explorer pane. (left) A tree hierarchy of all tests and actions in the current solution,

with their references, flow, and events.

•Toolbox pane. (left) A collection of built-in and imported activities that can be added as test

steps. From this pane, you drag activities into the canvas.

•Canvas. (middle) The work area in which you organize the test steps.

•Data Pane. (bottom) A tree hierarchy of data sources that can be used with the test—imported

Excel and XML files or database tables, or a manually defined table.

•Output Pane. (bottom) An informational area providing information about the test run and status.

Build a Simple Test

• Locate the Replace String activity

HP’s Unified Functional Testing

Create a sample Replace String test step:

• In the Properties pane, select the

Input/Checkpoints tab. Enter the

following values:

• Search string: Hello

• Replacement string:

Goodbye

• Case-sensitive: false

Set the input properties

Select View > Expand All or click the Expand All toolbar button. Click the Change Text node. View the source and

replacement strings and note the result string, Goodbye world. This is in fact the expected string—the test passed.
