# What's New in UFT Developer 15.0

This topic describes the new features and enhancements available in UFT Developer 15.0.

In this topic:

## LeanFT is now UFT Developer!

The Micro Focus UFT family of integrated Functional Testing solutions enables customers to test earlier and faster by combining a breadth of technology support with AI-driven capabilities. This provides the speed and resiliency required to achieve automation at scale that is tightly integrated with an organization’s current DevOps toolchain.

UFT One. Accelerate test automation with one intelligent solution for web, mobile, API, RPA, and enterprise apps.

UFT Developer. Easily shift-left testing using standard programming languages, IDEs, and testing frameworks of choice.

UFT Mobile. Amplify team productivity with an enterprise-level, end-to-end lab of real mobile devices and emulators.

Note:
- The default installation location is now C:\Program Files (x86)\Micro Focus\UFT Developer. The application data and configuration files remain in their original locations.
- The terms LeanFT or Mobile Center are still used in some places in the documentation, SDKs, file paths, and user interface. These refer to UFT Developer and UFT Mobile respectively.

## SV integration enhancements

UFT Developer 15.0 introduces the following changes to the SV integration :

- Save time and costs with Service Virtualization for Mobile Devices

  Use the SV capabilities in UFT Mobile to simulate remote back-end devices, which can be mobile phones or remote Bluetooth or NFC devices, such as GPS Watches or a smart door locking mechanism.

  Using SV with UFT Developer and UFT Mobile is as simple as recording a test. This helps you save time and costs and enables you to start testing your mobile applications earlier in the development process. For details on working with mobile devices in the UFT Developer Service Virtualization window in your IDE, see Use SV when designing UFT Developer tests in your IDE.

- UFT Developer uses a newer version of SV Lab than LeanFT. Adjust existing LeanFT-SV tests to run in the new version. See Running UFT Developer-SV tests created in earlier versions.

## Java testing enhancements

UFT Developer 15.0 provides the following enhancements for testing Java applications:

- UFT Developer can now access custom properties of Java objects.

  To use custom properties to identify objects in your Java application, include these properties in your object descriptions, using the objectProperties property.

  To retrieve the values of these properties from the application in run time, use the getObjectProperty method.

  For details, see the .NET, Java, and JavaScript SDK references.

- You can now clear a radio button selection in a Java application without selecting another radio button. For details, see the .NET, Java, and JavaScript SDK references.
