UFT has at least one distinct advantage over Open Source tools.

This is especially important for providing evidence that healthcare, insurance, defense, financial services, and mortgage companies might need, especially to furnish proof to auditors. If your concerns go beyond automating tests to providing evidence that specific tests were executed, what the test pass/fail status was, the user who executed it, the date/time of execution, UFT is top notch at providing test results because it has built in reporting features as well as allowing for customized output files showing exactly where a test step failed along with the timestamp. Besides GUI testing, UFT supports database testing and API testing ( Docker, WSDL, and SOAP).įor the first time ever, HP started to expand the testing capabilities of UFT (QTP) beyond Windows beginning with UFT 12.00. A UFT user can now run tests on Web applications on a Safari browser that is running on a remote Mac computer. Furthermore, UFT has the built-in functionality to import Excel input files.įor Web browsers, UFT 12.54 supports IE9, IE10, IE11, Microsoft Edge, Google Chrome (versions 31.0 to 54.9), Firefox (versions 27.0 to 49.0). For example, UFT supports GUI testing of Oracle, PeopleSoft, PowerBuilder, SAP (v7.20), Siebel, Stingray, Terminal Emulator, Putty, and Windows Objects (particularly Dialog Boxes). It is a challenge currently to find a single tool on the market besides UFT that will successfully work for so many projects and environments. With certainty, the best feature of UFT is its compatibility with so many products, tools and technologies.

It is also important to note that on FebruEnd of Support Life for QTP 11 was reached which meant that a company had to upgrade to UFT to get technical support and access to patches, documentation, etc.įor clarity, I have pasted screenshots of QTP (Figure 1) and UFT (Figure 2) below.

So essentially, UFT has bundled QTP and Service Test into one package along with several other add-ins.
#Micro focus products software#
In 2012, HP released UFT (Unified Functional Testing) version 11.5, which combined QuickTest Professional and HP Service Test into a single software package along with newly designed IDE (Integrated Development Environment).īefore UFT, QTP and Service Test were two separate downloads. QTP is a functional and regression automation tool originally developed and marketed by Mercury Interactive which HP acquired in 2006. Therefore, I thought it would be beneficial to clarify what distinguishes UFT from QTP because it is important for the reader to know.
#Micro focus products plus#
In my 10 plus years of hands-on experience using QTP ( QuickTest Professional) and UFT (Unified Functional Testing), I have observed that there has been a lot of confusion among the testing community on what the difference is between the two tools.
