What's new in 25.2
This topic describes the new features available in the Functional Testing module.
For what's new in other modules, see What's new in OpenText Core Software Delivery Platform.
Design
The Design module includes the following enhancements.
Area | What's new |
---|---|
Object identification text |
You can now specify a rule or regular expression for an object's identification text. This helps identify objects by text which can change, such as price, count, or ID. For example, you could write steps like these:
For details, see Use rules and regular expressions. |
Running scripts in Design |
When running a script in Design, you can select to run it on an application that is already open. This enables you to run a script on an application in its current state, rather than having to start from the application’s initial state when launched. This is helpful when running a succession of scripts where the first script opens the application and the others start from a later stage in the business flow. For example, if you run the scripts of units that comprise an MBT test and do not each open an application. For details, see (Optional) Configure script applications. |
If steps |
You can now control the flow of your script based on the value of an object by checking the value in an If statement. You can verify whether the value is empty or not, and whether it is or isn't equal, containing, or within a specified string. The string you specify can be a parameter or a constant. Previously, condition steps could check only for an object’s existence. For details, see Add conditional steps. |
Editing relations |
When editing a script, you can now edit an object's related objects in the step editing pane. Previously, such editing was possible only when adding the relation, which is done during inspection. Editing related objects in the step editing pane also enables you to use the Partial text option for related text objects. For details, see Manually edit steps. |
![]() |
In Smart Verify steps, when you type '@' to use a parameter, you can now select an existing parameter from the list or create a new script parameter. For details, see Add verification steps. Note: This feature requires an Aviator license. |
Model-Based Testing and Execution
The Model-Based Testing (MBT) and Execution modules include the following enhancements.
Enhancement | Description |
---|---|
![]() |
Leverage For details, see To generate a codeless script from a linked manual test. Note: This feature requires an Aviator license. |
Watch and share videos of test runs |
When running OpenText Functional Testing tests on the cloud, the test runs are recorded as .MP4 video files. You can then download the recording.
For details, see View detailed run results. |
Enhanced user interface | An enhanced user experience is provided with the new default JATO theme, offering enhanced accessibility, a more consistent experience, and a cleaner, more modern look. |
