AI-based testing enhancements
UFT One's AI-based testing continues to evolve. Desktop web applications are now fully supported.
UFT One 15.0.2 introduces the following enhancements to the AI-based testing for web and mobile applications.
Enhancement | Description |
---|---|
Record AI test steps |
You can now perform a business flow on your application and create a sequence of AI steps in your test. Within the recording session, you can also fine-tune the object identification and add checkpoint steps. |
AI Mockup Identification |
Learn AI objects on application mockups and prepare your AI-based tests before your application is developed. |
AI Transformation Assistant |
Run your existing tests with the AI Transformation Assistant enabled, to receive suggestions for transforming technology-based test steps to AI-based testing steps. Replace existing steps with the suggested AI object steps to create a more resilient and platform-agnostic test. To enable the assistant in Tools > Options > GUI Testing > AI, select Replace run results with AI step suggestions. See Convert technology-based tests to AI-based tests. |
UFT One scrolls to find objects |
When running a test, if the object is not displayed in the application but the web page or mobile app is scrollable, UFT One automatically scrolls further in search of the object. You can configure the direction of the scroll and the maximum number of scrolls to perform, or turn off scrolling if necessary. For more details, see Automatic scrolling. |
Checkpoints |
AIObject and AITextObject now support checkpoints! You specify the condition the application must meet to pass the checkpoint, and if expectations are not met, the step fails, which is reflected in the run results.
See the AI-based testing section of the UFT One Object Model Reference for GUI Testing. |
Text recognition enhancements |
You can use any of the following options to optimize text recognition when using AI-based testing features:
|
Operations on AIText objects |
AIText objects support new methods:
See the AIText Object section of the UFT One Object Model Reference for GUI Testing. |
Describe control using an image |
To support a control that UFT One AI does not recognize, provide an image file as a class description. For details, see Describe a control using an image. |
Feedback tool | If you use the feedback tool on a computer that is not connected to the Internet, you can now save your feedback locally and send it to OpenText later. |
Integrated installation | UFT One's AI features are now installed as an optional feature during the UFT One installation and are enabled by default if installed. See Prerequisites. |
Additional control types supported |
For a full list of supported controls types, see AI-based testing: Supported control types.

Object Identification Center - next generation Object Spy
UFT One 15.0.2 introduces the Object Identification Center (OIC) as a technical preview. Enjoy a new object-spying experience with this new spying tool, currently provided alongside the existing Object Spy.
Like the Object Spy, the OIC displays a test object's hierarchy and properties, and enables you to drag objects into your test or add them to object repositories.
In addition, it provides new capabilities:
- Spying on multiple objects, as well as adding multiple objects from the OIC to your test or to object repositories.
- Modifying the test object's description properties within the OIC to customize the object's identification.
- Adding objects to external object repositories that are not associated to the current test.
See Use the Object Identification Center.
The OIC is now the default spying tool. To view an object's native properties and methods, use the Object Spy: Click the down arrow near the Object Identification Center toolbar button and select the Object Spy .
API testing enhancements
UFT One 15.0.2 provides the following updates for API testing.
Enhancement | Description |
---|---|
Use ParallelRunner to run API tests | You can now use the ParallelRunner CLI tool to run multiple UFT One API tests in parallel. If the API tests call GUI tests, these run as well. |
Call API tests in GUI test parallel runs |
When a GUI test that is run by ParallelRunner calls an API test, the API test now runs correctly. The results of the API test are displayed together with the rest of the parallel run results. |
Support WSS protocol | API tests now support WebSocket Secure protocol. When you add an Open Socket activity, enter a URL such as: wss://<server>. |
Updated log4net.dll |
UFT One 15.0.2 uses an updated version of log4net.dll. If your API tests were created and built in earlier UFT One versions, to continue to use your tests, you must upgrade them by opening them in a new version of UFT One. If the custom activities were created by earlier Activity Wizard versions, you must recompile those activities with the log4net.dll from the <Unified Functional Testing installation>/bin folder before you can use them in your API tests. For details, see Known issues- Custom API testing activities. |
Performance acceleration
UFT One 15.0.2 provides accelerated performance enabling your tests to run up to 3 times faster. Performance is improved in the following areas:
Area | Acceleration details |
---|---|
BPT and Standard Windows |
