Welcome to OpenText Functional Testing WPF and Silverlight Add-in Extensibility
OpenText Functional Testing WPF and Silverlight Add-in Extensibility is an SDK (Software Development Kit) package that enables you to support testing applications that use third-party and custom WPF or Silverlight controls that are not supported by default by the OpenText Functional Testing WPF and Silverlight Add-ins.
Unless otherwise specified, mentions of WPF in this topic refer to Silverlight as well. You must develop support for WPF and Silverlight controls separately and use different APIs. However, creating Silverlight support is very similar to creating WPF support, therefore both are described together in this guide.
OpenText Functional Testing 2022 and later: Following the discontinuance of the Silverlight development framework, OpenText Functional Testing no longer supports the Silverlight Add-in by default.
If you need to use and extend the Silverlight Add-in, contact OpenText Support.
