You can now test SAP GUI for Windows applications using UFT One's AI-based testing. In particular, UFT One can identify typical controls in the Classic and Signature themes.

To prepare your SAP GUI applications for testing, see Enable support for SAP GUI for Windows

Use AI Record or AI Inspection to learn application objects and automatically create test steps.

UFT One can now identify additional types of controls using AI:

• On mobile apps: refresh, chart, people, and clock

• On web and SAP GUI applications: contact card, copy, display, document, enter, exit, find, folder, forward, pin, save, schema, window

For a full list of supported controls types, see AI-based testing: Supported control types.

Describing an object uniquely may require a combination of properties such as text and position.

In the AI Inspection or AI Record interface, you can now create such object descriptions, even if each property on its own does not describe the object uniquely.

See Inspect your application for objects.

You can now use new AOM properties to connect to the Remote AI service using automation scripts.

See AIOptions Object in the UFT One Automation Object Model Reference.

The remote AI service now handles text recognition for AI object identification as well as the visual object identification. This can improve performance when using the remote AI service.

See Use the remote AI Object-Detection service.

The className parameter of the RegisterCustomClass method is no longer case sensitive. For example, a class named "Sales_1" that you registered previously will be overwritten if you create a new class named "sales_1".

See AIUtil.RegisterCustomClass in the Object Model Reference for GUI Testing.

You can now learn the basics of AI-based testing and practice AI Features by reading and following the AI-based testing tutorial.

See AI-based testing tutorial.

When parameterizing a property value in a checkpoint, you can now select output parameters. In earlier versions, you could select only input parameters.

See Parameter Options Dialog Box.

Web testing:

Updated Chrome and Safari extensions

New browser extension versions are now available:

• The latest OpenText UFT Agent Chrome extension is a Manifest V3 (MV3) extension, built for the most recent Chrome extensions platform.

  For details, see Enable the OpenText UFT Agent extension on Google Chrome.

• The latest OpenText UFT Agent Safari extension supports working with M1 Mac machines.

  This version of the extension is simpler to set up, as you no longer need to separately install the UFT Connection Agent.

  See Work with Apple Safari on a remote Mac computer.

Java testing: 

New methods for Java objects

You can now use new methods on Java objects: 

• Interact with cells in SWT JavaTree objects with columns:

  ActivateCell, ClickCell, DoubleClickCell, SelectCell, SetCellData.

  See JavaTree object section of Object Model Reference for GUI Testing.

• Perform the following operations on JavaFX JavaWindow objects:

  Move, Resize, PressKey.

  See JavaWindow object section of Object Model Reference for GUI Testing.

Kafka SSL

You can now configure two-way SSL authentication for your Kafka server. Use the new properties to configure client authentication. See Test with Kafka activities.

You can now test devices stored on the WeTest and Genymotion labs.

When specifying a mobile device for your test run, you can now specify the device's geographic location.

This is relevant when you select Micro Focus as the target lab and specify the fleet type as public.

You can now refer to the color of the text you want to identify:

• Use the GetTextFromImageByColor method to retrieve text of a specific color from an image file.

• Use the GetTextLocationFromImageByColor method to return the location of a text string of a specific color in an image file.

See TextUtil Object in the Object Model Reference for GUI Testing.

You can now include the following color-related properties in Text test object descriptions:

textcolor, isinverted, huethreshold, and backgroundcolor

This gives you finer control and increases text recognition accuracy.

See TextObject description properties in the Object Model Reference for GUI Testing.

UFT One can now consume a concurrent license from an AutoPass License Server with multi-tenancy enabled. When connecting to a multi-tenant license server, provide the tenant information.

See Set concurrent license mode (wizard) and Consume concurrent licenses with the command line.

Newer versions of the .NET framework and the Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable are now being used.

When you install the full UFT One package, these prerequisites are installed automatically.

If you use silent installation, include the following prerequisite versions:

• .NET 6.0.3

• Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable 2022

See Silent commands for installing prerequisites.

Testing Delphi 32-bit applications that were not pre-compiled with the UFT One Delphi agent is supported only on 64-bit Windows systems.

See Delphi Add-in.

The following technologies are no longer supported in the market:

• Adobe no longer supports Flash Player and recommends users uninstall Flash Player from their systems.

• Microsoft no longer supports the Silverlight development framework.

Therefore, by default, UFT One no longer provides the Flex and Silverlight Add-ins.

If you require the Flex or Silverlight Add-in, contact Micro Focus Support.

For documentation, see the Help Center for version 2022.

When specifying the button parameter in the ClickCell method of UIA Pro objects, the possible values are: 

• 0 = left button (Default)
• 1 = right button
• 2 = middle button

In previous versions, the middle and right values were reversed: 1 = Middle button, 2 = Right button.

See UIA Pro objects in the Object Model Reference for GUI Testing.

You can now manage application areas and their function libraries using automation scripts.

For example, you can check in/out, create, open, save, or close an application area. For a function library, you can add it to or remove it from an application area.

See AppArea Object, Application Object, and AAFunctionLibraries Collection in UFT One Automation Object Model Reference.

When using methods such as New and Open to create or open documents, you can instruct UFT One to save all other documents before closing them.

In earlier versions, specifying "save before closing" saved only the document that was in focus.

See Application Object in UFT One Automation Object Model Reference.

WPF extensibility now supports working with .NET 5 and 6, allowing you to create custom support for additional .NET 5 or 6 WPF controls.

• When installing WPF extensibility, select the installation package that matches your Visual Studio version.

• The Custom Server Setup wizard includes more predefined settings and is simpler to complete.

See WPF Add-in Extensibility.

You can now use the Extensibility Accelerator to develop web extensibility support sets on Chrome browsers. Previously, the Extensibility Accelerator was limited to Internet Explorer.

See Extensibility Accelerator reference for Functional Testing.

You can now open a UFT One solution directly from Windows Explorer. See Document management.

Alternative option for testing on a disconnected remote computer

Some remote computer connections do not notify UFT One when they disconnect. As a result, testing on a locked, logged off, or disconnected remote computer to fail.

In such cases, you can now configure UFT One to periodically poll the remote session. When no active connection is found, a Windows session is automatically started, using the configured credentials to log in.

Enable this in the Tools > Options > General tab > Run Sessions pane or using the Automation Object Model (AOM).

See Enable testing on locked, logged off, or disconnected remote computers and the RunOptions object in UFT One Automation Object Model Reference.

When passing parameters to the command line for running a test batch, you can now include a semi-colon (;) in your parameter value by adding an escape character (\).

See Run the test batch using a command line.
