OpenText Functional Testing Web Add-in Extensibility

OpenText Functional Testing Web Add-in Extensibility is an SDK (Software Development Kit) package that enables you to support testing applications that use third-party and custom Web controls that are not supported by default by the OpenText Functional Testing Web Add-in.

Extensibility can also be used to enable OpenText Sprinter, a solution for efficient and effective manual testing, to learn Web objects that are not supported by default. For more information about OpenText Sprinter, see the OpenText Sprinter Help Center.

About the OpenText Functional Testing Web Add-in Extensibility SDK

Installing Extensibility Accelerator for Functional Testing also installs the OpenText Functional Testing Web Add-in Extensibility SDK, which provides the following:

  • An API that enables you to extend the Web Add-in to support custom Web controls.

  • The Web Add-in Extensibility Help, which includes the following:

    • A developer guide, including a step-by-step tutorial in which you develop support for a sample custom control.

    • API References.

    • A Toolkit Configuration Schema Reference.

    • The Test Object Schema Reference.

  • Web Add-in Extensibility toolkit support sets that extend GUI testing support for the following Web 2.0 environments:

About the Developer Guide

The Developer Guide part of this Help includes the following sections:

This guide explains how to set up OpenText Functional Testing Web Add-in Extensibility and use it to extend GUI testing support for third-party and custom Web controls.

This guide assumes you are familiar with OpenText Functional Testing functionality, and should be used together with the other Help sections:

  • API References
  • Toolkit Configuration Schema Help
  • Test Object Schema Help

These documents should also be used in conjunction with the following UFT documentation:

  • OpenText Functional Testing Help Center
  • The Web section of the OpenText Functional Testing Help Center
  • Object Model Reference

Note:  

The information, examples, and screen captures in this guide focus specifically on working with OpenText Functional Testing GUI tests. However, all toolkit support sets developed using the Web Add-in Extensibility can also be used to extend OpenText Sprinter's capabilities to support Web controls that are not supported by default. All references to OpenText Functional Testing in this guide apply to both OpenText Functional Testing and OpenText Sprinter.

Additionally, much of the information in this guide applies equally to components.

Business components are part of Business Process Testing. For more information, see the OpenText Functional Testing Help Center.
