Design

This section describes the updates introduced in Functional Testing Design in the previous months.

July 2024

This update includes the following enhancements:

  • Automate manual tests

    Harness the power of AI and let OpenText™ OpenText Core Software Delivery PlatformAviator generate automated codeless tests based on your existing manual ones.

    Open the generated codeless scripts in FT Design to review them and make final adjustments.

    When the scripts are ready, include their codeless tests in your scheduled test suite runs.

    For details, see Automate manual tests with Aviator.

  • Unassociate scripts

    You can now remove the association between a script and its codeless test or unit.

    After unassociating, you can create a new test or unit for the script by clicking Associate. Alternatively, you can create a new script for the test or unit by clicking Open in Design in the test or unit.

    For details, see Associate or unassociate your script.

  • Home page toolbar

    Select scripts on the Home page and use the new toolbar to perform the following tasks: 

    • Rename a script.

    • Delete or move one or more scripts.

    • Open a script's associated test or unit.

    For details, see Navigate Functional Testing Design.

June 2024

This update includes the following changes:

  • Use the new Enter action in your steps, to set a text value in an input field or text box. Unlike the Type action, Enter clears any previous text from the field before entering the new value. See Step syntax.

  • Rename an open script using the script's context menu.

    Click the down-arrow near the script's name in the Editor toolbar. See Navigate Functional Testing Design.

    Note: You can no longer rename the script during the process of associating it.

  • Installation updates: 

    • To install the Design Agent, you now need read and write permissions on the %programdata%\OpenText folder, rather than %programdata%\Micro Focus. See Required permissions.

    • For the supported versions of the Node.js installation prerequisite, see the Support Matrix. Node.js 16 is no longer supported.
