Smart defect

During a recorded manual test, submit a defect directly from UFT Mobile to Octane. Relevant details such as the steps performed, screenshots, and the device log are added automatically. For details, see Defect Tracking System integration, and Manual Testing.

Flutter SDK

We've added record and replay support for Android and iOS apps built using the Google Flutter SDK. For more details, see Flutter SDK apps.

Audio streaming for iOS

You can now hear audio from a remote iOS device on your PC during manual testing, and test functionality that requires audio validation. For details, see Device access window.

LDAP groups

OpenText Functional Testing Lab 3.5 introduces support for LDAP groups, to allow centralized, more efficient user management. The administrator can grant an LDAP group access to relevant devices and applications in the organization, without having to manage permissions for each user separately. When the administrator assigns one or more LDAP groups to a workspace, all the users included in these groups can access the workspace. For details, see Use LDAP.

ADM Consumption Token license

OpenText Functional Testing Lab 3.5 supports the ADM Consumption Token license. Now you can use one license with multiple Micro Focus Application Delivery Management (ADM) products.

Performance optimization

This release provides improved performance for large-scale deployments.

Appium 1.18.3

The embedded Appium version was updated to 1.18.3.

Manual testing enhancements

Now you can manually add steps to the step report, delete steps, and delete a screenshot for a step. The date and time that a step was performed is added after the step in the zip file, and in the defect. You can also record tests on Amazon Device Farm devices. For details, see Manual Testing.

Device metrics

Tracking device metrics can assist you in detecting and analyzing issues with your apps. Additional device metrics are available in the OpenText Functional Testing Lab wizard when using the latest version of OpenText Functional testing (version 15.0.2): WiFi connection, WiFi signal strength, iOS thermal state, and available disk space. For details, see Lab wizard.

Usability improvements

For more convenient lab management, the Users tab is now removed. User management options are now incorporated in the Management tab, so that actions for managing the lab are now in one place. For details, see Lab and workspace management.

Installation

The OpenText Functional Testing Lab server installation options give you the flexibility to:

Install the UFTM server without the embedded connector.
Specify the folder for temporary files used by the OpenText Functional Testing Lab service.

This release includes support for CentOS/RHEL version 8.

Access keys

The administrator can now define the maximum duration of connector and execution keys according to the organization's security policies. If defined, users generating new keys need to set an expiration date within the allowed time period. For details, see Administration settings.

Other updates and enhancements

OpenText Functional Testing Lab 3.5 includes the following enhancements:

Device monitoring	We've made it easier to integrate OpenText Functional Testing Lab with Prometheus by adding a new administration setting. In addition, we've added more metrics. For details, see Device monitoring.
LDAP	OpenText Functional Testing Lab LDAP support now includes using multiple LDAP servers.
ADF devices	You can now view the availability status of ADF devices from within OpenText Functional Testing Lab. For details, see .
