Set up your system

• Install the UFT Developer runtime engine on any machine on which you want to run UFT Developer tests. For details, see Installation guide.
• Install one or more supported IDEs and the relevant UFT Developer plugins on any machine on which you want to write and edit UFT Developer tests.

• Customize UFT Developer runtime engine settings
• For Web testing, see Set up web browsers and controls.
• Customize how to identify objects
• Modify the port used by UFT Developer
• Configure ports for using UFT Developer in a multi-session environment

Create a testing project

Create a UFT Developer testing project in the IDE of your choice, using the provided project templates, or use your own custom framework.

See Create a UFT Developer testing project or module.

Customize your test settings

Customize the runtime server settings and report options.

See Customize test settings

Define test objects

Create test object descriptions that enable UFT Developer to identify the objects in your application and can withstand changes in the application you’re testing.

Write programmatic descriptions or use the visually oriented tools that UFT Developer offers to provide an interface to the tested application and its objects.

For details, see:

• Code programmatic test object descriptions
• Object Identification Center lets you spy on the objects in your application, experiment with different ways to identify those objects, and generate code to use in your scripts.
• Application models are abstractions, or models, of the application you are testing.

Write tests

After you create test object descriptions, write automated tests whose steps call the methods and properties of these UFT Developer test objects.

Use one or more of the following UFT Developer SDKs:

• UFT Developer .NET SDK

• UFT Developer Java SDK

• UFT Developer JavaScript SDK

Use the Test Recorder to accelerate test creation, recording user operations on the tested application and generating a test script from the recorded steps.

Add code to verify application behavior

Verify that the objects in your application look and behave as you expect.

When these special steps return false results, the step and test fail, but no exception is thrown and your test continues to run.

For details, see Verifications.

Run test

Run your tests in Jenkins or other tools as part of your CI/CD processes. See Run UFT Developer tests.

Analyze run results

HTML reports include information about the run, including optional screen captures. See Analyze run results.
