Keep your UFT One tests running in a locked, remote session

UFT One previously only supported continued testing in a disconnected remote session, enabling you to use your local computer for other tasks, or to close your local session entirely.

Network Virtualization enhancements

Integrate UFT One with Network Virtualization using the following updated features:

Update Network Virtualization emulation settings in real-time

Use the new ModifyEmulationDetails and ModifyEmulationProfile methods for the NV utility object to update emulation details in real-time during a test run.

This enables you to emulate a network more accurately as it would perform in live, production environments.

For details, see Run a test using an emulated network and the NV utility object in the UFT One Object Model Reference for GUI Testing.
Connect via a proxy

Now you can define your connection to a Network Virtualization server via a proxy.

UI Automation enhancements

Now you can use the following enhancements in your UI Automation tests:

Convert UIAutomation objects into relevant UIAutomation test objects

The test object type created is based on the type of control located by UI Automation.

Use the following new methods:

  • CreateTOFromUIA
  • CreateTOColFromUIA

For example, if the control is of a button type, the CreateTOFromUIA method will create a UIAButton test object.
