OpenText Functional Testing add-in extensibility enables you to extend the relevant OpenText Functional Testing add-in to support third-party and custom controls that are not supported out-of-the-box.
Specify a test object class and required behavior
OpenText Functional Testing recognizes application objects as belonging to a specific test object class. The test object class recognized by OpenText Functional Testing may or may not have the characteristics that you need to test, and therefore the methods and properties available may not be sufficient.
In such cases, use OpenText Functional Testing extensibility to specify the test object class and required behavior.
Teach OpenText Functional Testing to recognize objects with sub-objects
Additionally, use OpenText Functional Testing extensibility to teach OpenText Functional Testing to treat objects with sub-objects as a single functional object, instead of recognizing each sub-object separately.
Example: A calendar object may consist of buttons and text boxes.
Teach OpenText Functional Testing to recognize all of these as a single calendar object, enabling you to create more meaningful tests on the calendar.
Extend the list of available classes
In most environments, you can also extend the list of available test object classes that OpenText Functional Testing is able to recognize. This enables you to create tests that fully support the specific behavior of your controls.
Supported environments and Testing Extensibility
OpenText Functional Testing add-in extensibility is currently available for the following add-ins:
If you need additional extensibility features, you may be able to use Testing Extensibility for OpenText Functional Testing. Participation in this program requires a separate license agreement with OpenText. For more details, contact OpenText Software support.
