Configure UFT One to use the AI Object-Detection (AIOD) Cloud Service to perform AI-based testing. This reduces the use of your local resources, increases test run performance, and ensures that you are always using the latest AI model.

See Use the AI Object-Detection Cloud Service.

Note: This feature is available as a Technical Preview upon request. To learn more, contact your account team and send an email to aiod-saas-inquiries@microfocus.com.

You can now use regular expressions to describe text for AI-based object identification. Instead of specifying the exact text, you can provide a pattern that the object's text should match.

See Use regular expressions.

You can retrieve properties such as height, width, value, and hint from the AI objects in your application. Use the GetObjectProperty and GetAllProperties methods to retrieve the values, then check the values to validate your object's location and content.

For a list of properties supported for each object type, as well as details about the Get methods, see AI-based Testing in the UFT One Object Model Reference for GUI Testing.

Broader support for combo box Select

On non-mobile applications, AI-based testing can now support the combo box Select operation, even if the combo box cannot be identified as a WebList.

See Supporting Select operations on combo boxes.

When recording AI-based steps, or adding them during inspection, additional operations are now available for you to select. For example, DoubleClick, LongClick, and SetText.

See Add steps when using AI Inspection and Record a step using AI Record.

Note: Most of the additional operations are not supported on mobile applications.

Identifying objects using ordinal location is now calculated more consistently. As a result, you may need to adjust some steps in your existing tests.

See Upgrade from a UFT One version earlier than 2023.

Updated Chromium Edge extension

Web and AI-based Web testing

The latest Micro Focus UFT Agent Chromium Edge extension is a Manifest V3 (MV3) extension, built for recent versions of Chromium Edge. It can be used for both web testing and AI-based testing.

For instruction on installing and enabling the extension, see Enable the Micro Focus UFT Agent extension on Microsoft Edge (Chromium-based).

You can now run your tests on cloud browsers provided by Digital Lab.

You no longer need to install, maintain, or update your test environment browsers or UFT One's browser extensions on your local computers. Using Digital Lab's browsers also enhances test run security.

See Web Add-in.

React AG Grid support

UFT One now fully supports testing React AG Grid objects in your web applications.

The ColumnCount and RowCount methods now retrieve the correct number of columns and rows in a React data grid.

See WebAgGrid Object in the UFT One Object Model Reference.

Version 2023 introduces the following enhancements: 

• When working with Chrome, Extensibility Accelerator can now work with multiple browser tabs, and identify objects inside a frame object.

• Installing Extensibility Accelerator includes updated sample Web Add-in Extensibility projects for jQueryUI and Dojo, and WebExtSample.

• Extensibility Accelerator's Chrome extension is a Manifest V3 (MV3) extension, built for recent versions of Chrome.

See the Extensibility Accelerator Reference for Functional Testing.

The recovery mechanism can now handle recovery triggers when a 64-bit application crashes in a run session.

To recover from a 64-bit application crash error during a run session, review the requirements described in Recovery scenario.

Support for SAP GUI for Windows / SAP NWBC applications

You can now test the following controls:

• Edge (Chromium-based) controls in SAP GUI for Windows applications

• Chromium and Edge controls and SAP NWBC controls in SAP NWBC applications

To test browser controls in your application, you must enable UFT One to communicate with your application. See Enable testing HTML controls when using a specific browser control option.

You can now spy and run tests on DevExpress Data Grid controls in WPF applications.

To test this type of grid control, load the WPF > DevExpress Add-in, which is installed when you install the .NET WPF Add-in.

See .NET Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) Add-in.

UFT One can now spy, record, and run tests on WPF and .NET controls regardless of Windows display scaling (DPI).

See .NET Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) Add-in and .NET Windows Forms Add-in.

Action name length / Action Sheet Dictionary tab

Action name length is more flexible now:

• Action names can exceed 31 characters.

  Accordingly, data sheet names of actions with more than 31 characters are automatically shortened to meet Excel’s requirements.

• A new Action Sheet Dictionary tab in the Properties pane displays the relationships between the actions and data sheets in your test.

  The dictionary maps both local and external actions.

  You can edit the mappings inside the dictionary.

  See Properties Pane.

UFT Mobile has been rebranded to Digital Lab.

The UFT Mobile Add-in for Local Device is now named Digital Lab Lite for Local Devices.

See Mobile Add-in.

When preparing a .json file to run multiple tests simultaneously in ParallelRunner, you can now specify the access key authentication mode to use for connecting to Digital Lab (UFT Mobile).

See Run UFT One tests in parallel using a command line.

UFT One now supports testing communications with Kafka servers that use Kerberos for authentication on Windows.

See Test with Kafka activities.

In an automation script, you can now start UFT One as any Windows user. In the past, UFT One was always launched by the logged-in user.

See the Application.LaunchAsUser method in the UFT One Automation Object Model Reference.

You can now specify a view for UFT One to always use when opening GUI actions and scripted components.

In the Tools > Options > GUI Testing > General pane, select Keyword View, Editor View, or Last used view.

See General Pane (Options Dialog Box > GUI Testing Tab).

Resource path customization

A new option Resource path type is added to the Folders Pane (Options Dialog Box > GUI Testing Tab).

• You can instruct UFT One to always save resources added to your test in relative paths or in absolute paths.

• If you specify "Always save relative path", UFT One can help you identify resources with absolute paths in your test and convert them to relative paths.

See Specify the resource path type.

You can export the list of folders in which UFT One searches for tests, components, actions, or resources on a UFT One computer. You can then import the exported list to another UFT One computer, simplifying the process of moving tests from one computer to another.

To perform an import or export, do one of the following: 

• Use the Folders Pane (Options Dialog Box > GUI Testing Tab).

• Use the Folders.Import or Folders.Export method in an automation script.

See Import / export the folders search list.

You can now stop a running test batch anytime via the command line.

See Run the test batch via the command line.

When editing function libraries in the Editor, you can now collapse or expand all functions, making it easier to edit long files.

To collapse or expand all functions, do one of the following:

• Right-click and select Collapse All Functions / Expand All Functions from the context menu.

• Press Ctrl+K / Ctrl+Shift+K.

For more details on working with the Editor, see The Editor.

.NET 5 and 6 are now supported as a Technical Preview.

See .NET Windows Forms Add-in.

8.2

Note: In addition, UFT One can now work with Bamboo in cases where the agent and server have different Java JDK versions (using JDK 1.8 or JDK 11).
