Start testing

See Testing types for the types of testing you can perform using OpenText Functional Testing.

GUI testing

Use OpenText Functional Testing's keyword-driven testing method to create GUI test steps early and maintain them with only minor updates.

Use actions, steps, test objects, checkpoints, function libraries, and parameters to create your test.

Then, run the test and view the test results, including details about each step and checkpoint used.

See GUI test design.

API testing

OpenText Functional Testing's API (service) testing solution provides tools for the construction and execution of functional tests for headless (GUI-less) systems or the back-end of applications with a GUI.

Create API tests using standard, service, or custom activities, as well as checkpoints, parameters, and custom code.

See API test design.

Combined testing

You can integrate GUI and API tests in a single test run. 

See Run API Tests with GUI Tests.
