Flex Add-in

Following the retirement of the Adobe Flash Player, UFT One no longer supports the Flex Add-in by default.

If you require the Flex Add-in, contact OpenText Support.

Use the UFT One Flex Add-in to test Flex user-interface objects (controls).

General Information
Supported Environments	Tested applications must be built with Flex SDK versions that are supported by the UFT One Flex Add-in. For details on supported Flex SDK versions, see the Flex section of the UFT One Support Matrix.
Important Information	You can use UFT One with Flex applications that satisfy one of the following conditions: Applications opened with Adobe Flash Player Debugger Applications opened using the UFT One Runtime Loader Applications prepared manually for testing. Preparing the application consists of embedding the application in a Web page together with the Runtime Loader, or recompiling the application with the relevant Adobe or Apache Flex automation libraries and a UFT One Flex pre-compiled agent. The agent used to compile the application and the instance of UFT running the test must have the same version. For details, see: Work with the Flex Add-in Set up the Adobe Flash Player Debugger to enable GUI testing Open Flex applications using the Runtime Loader Compile Flex applications for UFT One testing
Test Object Methods and Properties	The Flex Add-in provides Flex test objects, methods, and properties that can be used when testing Flex objects in Flex applications. For details, see the Flex section of the UFT One Object Model Reference for GUI Testing.

Prerequisites
Opening Your Application	You can open your Flex application before or after opening UFT One.
Add-in Dependencies	Different versions of the Flex SDK require different versions of Adobe Flash Player, Adobe Flash Player Debugger, or Adobe Air. The Flex Add-in requires the versions of Adobe Flash Player / Debugger or Adobe Air that are required by the version of the Flex SDK used to build the application being tested. For more details, see the Adobe Flex SDK or Apache Flex SDK documentation. For Flex applications that you recompile with UFT One's pre-compiled agent: If the Flex applications were compiled using Adobe Flex SDK versions 4.5.x or 4.6.x, verify that you have licensed versions of the relevant Adobe Automation libraries before running full UFT OneGUI tests and components. If you do not have licensed versions of the libraries, consider upgrading to Apache Flex SDK version 4.9.x or 4.12.x. UFT One interacts with the Flex application it is testing using a local TCP socket object, selecting an available communication port in the range 24654 - 24663. Make sure that at least one of these ports is available on the UFT computer. If no ports in this range are available, the add-in fails to load properly. On a Windows server, multiple users can run multiple instances of UFT. To test Flex applications, you must have one port in this range available for each UFT instance.

Prerequisites

Opening Your Application

You can open your Flex application before or after opening UFT One.

Add-in Dependencies

Different versions of the Flex SDK require different versions of Adobe Flash Player, Adobe Flash Player Debugger, or Adobe Air.

The Flex Add-in requires the versions of Adobe Flash Player / Debugger or Adobe Air that are required by the version of the Flex SDK used to build the application being tested. For more details, see the Adobe Flex SDK or Apache Flex SDK documentation.
For Flex applications that you recompile with UFT One's pre-compiled agent:

If the Flex applications were compiled using Adobe Flex SDK versions 4.5.x or 4.6.x, verify that you have licensed versions of the relevant Adobe Automation libraries before running full UFT OneGUI tests and components.

If you do not have licensed versions of the libraries, consider upgrading to Apache Flex SDK version 4.9.x or 4.12.x.
UFT One interacts with the Flex application it is testing using a local TCP socket object, selecting an available communication port in the range 24654 - 24663.

Make sure that at least one of these ports is available on the UFT computer. If no ports in this range are available, the add-in fails to load properly.

On a Windows server, multiple users can run multiple instances of UFT. To test Flex applications, you must have one port in this range available for each UFT instance.
