UFT One is bringing back AI Object Model updates.

When new AI Object Models are available, you can update your local AI Object Model. This provides more advanced AI Object identification, without waiting for a UFT One upgrade.

See Update local AI Object Models.

The text recognition use during AI Object identification is more refined now: 

• Noise trimming: Characters identified in unexpected areas or controls are removed from the identified text strings.

• Consider UI control borders: If an identified text string spans multiple UI controls, it is divided into individual strings, according to the identified controls.

These refinements are on by default, and may affect text recognition in existing tests. You can turn these options off in Options dialog box or using AIRunSettings steps.

See Configure text recognition options.

The remote AI Object-Detection service package is now available in the Full UFT One installation package and not on the Marketplace.

To install the remote AI Object-Detection service package, download the Full UFT One installation package from the Software Licenses and Downloads page. Extract the package contents, run the Setup.exe program and select Remote AI Object-Detection Service Setup from the installation start screen.

See Additional OpenText Functional Testing-related installations and Install the AI Object-Detection service on a remote computer.

Note: The new packaging of the remote AI Object-Detection service enables it to recognize text in AITableCell objects.

Support for Headless Chrome

(tech preview)

You can now run AI-based web tests on Headless Chrome browsers, both of UFT One computers and in UFT One Windows Docker containers.

See Prepare to run tests on Headless Chrome and Run web and AI-based web tests in a Windows Docker container.

AI-based test steps are now represented more specifically in the Keyword View.

See Standard steps in the Keyword View.

Running tests on Headless Chrome in a Docker container

(tech preview)

You can now run web tests on Headless Chrome in a UFT One Windows Docker container.

See Run web and AI-based web tests in a Windows Docker container.

Digital Lab cloud browser enhancements

New features are available when running tests on Digital Lab cloud browsers:

• You can now choose to view the test in a remote access window as it runs.

  See Define your Digital Lab pane details.

• You can now run tests on Firefox and Edge cloud browsers.

For each property-value pair in a static programmatic description, you can specify whether to treat the value as a regular expression or a literal string.

• Literal string: use the new propertyName==propertyValue syntax.

• Regular expression: use the propertyName:=propertyValue syntax, as before.

For details, see Static programmatic descriptions.

File Content checkpoint

When using file content checkpoints to compare parameterized content of a generated file with that of a source file:

• Both the Actual Content and Expected Content areas show the real values of the parameters.

• The differences between parameter values are correctly highlighted.

See File Content checkpoints.

Java testing:

Extended the retrievable length of a String property

Longer string properties can now be retrieved from Java objects:

• When spying on Java objects or retrieving their properties using GetROProperty, String properties can now be up to 1,000,000 characters long.

• You can now customize the maximum length to retrieve.

  Set the Max property length parameter in the Tools > Options > GUI Testing tab > Java node.

  See Java Pane (Options Dialog Box > GUI Testing Tab).

WPF DevExpress testing

WpfDXGrid test objects support the following new methods: 

• AddCellToSelection

• AddRowToSelection

• ClearSelection

See the WpfDXGrid object in the Object Model Reference for GUI Testing.

A newer ABBYY OCR engine is now being used. This engine provides more precise text recognition.

This change may affect the text recognition in existing tests. If necessary, adjust your text recognition settings. You can use the Preview pane to experiment with various settings until you achieve optimal recognition. See Configure text recognition settings.

When testing a mobile app, the Pan method is now supported at the Device level. This enables you to automate pan operations at a specified velocity, from a start point to an end point. Device.Pan is supported on both Android and iOS devices.

See the Device.Pan method in the Object Model Reference for GUI Testing.

You can now configure a connection to ValueEdge Digital Lab, UFT Digital Lab, or Digital Lab Lite for Local Devices directly from your automation scripts using the new DLConnection object and object properties.

See the DLConnection object in Automation Object Model Reference.

You can now use FTP activities to test your application's ability to perform SFTP-related procedures, for example, uploading a file to a Secure FTP server.

See Standard activities examples.

You can now use a new lightweight Linux-based Docker image to run API tests. This image includes an installation of UFT One's runtime engine only.

Use Docker commands to install a license and run your API tests.

See Run tests in a Docker container.

Configure Record and Run settings for testing a web application on a cloud browser.

See the CloudBrowser object in Automation Object Model Reference.

Remove a call to an action or API test from an action or a test.

See the RemoveAction and RemoveAPITest methods under the Action Object and Test Object in the Automation Object Model Reference.

Replace an API test called from an action or a test with another API test.

See the ReplaceAPITest method under the Action Object and Test Object in the Automation Object Model Reference.

Instruct UFT One to use an absolute path or a relative path, or display a prompt every time you add a resource to your test.

See the ResourcePathType property in the Automation Object Model Reference.

You can now clean up your local object repository, deleting rarely used objects using the Delete Unused Objects button in the Object Repository window.

See Delete unused objects.

When running a test batch using a command line, you can now use the -result option to specify where to save the run results.

See Run the test batch using a command line.

When you open or add existing documents or resources in UFT One, you can now select multiple items from your file system and open them at once.

See Open/New/Save/Add Existing <Document>/<Resource> Dialog Box.

Open an HTML report in a default browser

You can now open an HTML run report in your default browser by clicking the Open In Default Browser button in the upper-left corner of the report.

See Use run results.

You can now view a spied test object in a specific object repository by clicking the Locate Object in the Object Identification Center window.

See Locate an object in an object repository.

Copying code from outside of UFT One into the Editor, sometimes inserts invisible NBSP characters in a GUI test, component, or function library. These erroneous space characters cause inexplicable syntax errors. You can now remove these characters from a document by right-clicking and selecting Remove invisible NBSP characters.

See Removing invisible NBSP characters.

You can use the Reporter.CurrentActionIterationStatus property or the Reporter.CurrentTestIterationStatus property to get the run status of the current iteration of an action or a test in a run session.

See the Reporter object in the Object Model Reference for GUI Testing.

Node.js is a prerequisite to including the UFT Developer feature in the UFT One installation.

You can now use Node.js 18.19.0 or 20 for this prerequisite.

See Additional OpenText Functional Testing-related installations.
