Index of UFT One tasks/actions

This topic is a reference of tasks and actions supported in UFT One.

Manage documents and tests

The following table lists actions supported when creating and managing UFT One tests and other documents.

Solutions	Create Open Add a test, component, application area, or function library to a solution.
Tests	Create Open Associate a resource with a test - including object repositories, recovery scenarios, and function libraries. Import tests from a externally-saved .zip file. Import tests from a Sprinter Automated Test Data file. Export a GUI test to an externally saved .zip file. Save with resources Save in SVN Save in a GIT repository
Components	Create. Components are always saved on ALM. Open Add items to a solution Import a business component from a Sprinter Automated Test Data file.
Actions	Rename a test action's name in: the Solution Explorer the Action Properties dialog box
Function libraries	Create

Create and maintain test objects

The following table lists actions supported when creating and maintaining UFT One test objects.

Object repositories	Create shared object repositories Associate shared object repositories with a GUI test or component. Compare multiple object repositories. Merge multiple object repositories.
Test objects	Add new objects to an object repository Edit objects in shared object repositories Teach UFT One to recognize the objects in your application and add these objects to a shared object repository. Use Insight to recognize the objects in your application. Use OCR to recognize text in your application. Specify which UFT One test object should represent an unidentified object in your application. Specify which objects in your application exist as virtual objects and instruct UFT One where to find them.
description properties	Add or set the values of a selected test object's description properties. Parameterize a test object's description properties from a data source (Excel, variable) Specify optional/mandatory description properties during a run session. Spy on an object to display the test object's description properties. Update the description properties of an object by re-learning them from the application.

Integrate with ALM
