HP UFT (unified functional testing)

By attending this HP Unified Functional Testing (UFT) workshop, Delegates will learn to:

  • Create basic scripts from a manual test case
  • Enhance basic tests with synchronization and verification
  • Parameterize tests to run with multiple sets of data
  • Create and reuse modular actions
  • Use the Object Repository
  • Use debugging tools
  • Write custom checkpoints to create more precise verification points within a test
  • Use the Object Repository Manager
  • Resolve object recognition problems
  • Retrieve and use the properties of an object
  • Create programmatic descriptions
  • Create tests that include VBScript
  • Retrieve data from application objects
  • Use the Data Table object to store run-time data and drive actions
  • Create scripts that access data from external sources
  • Create new subroutines and functions
  • Use the Function Library editor
  • Identify when to handle exceptions programmatically

The HP Unified Functional Testing (UFT) Training course provides a comprehensive understanding of how to use the Unified Functional Testing (UFT) application as an automated functional testing tool. You use the point and click interface to record and play back tests, add synchronization points and verification steps, and create multiple action tests.

Working knowledge of the following:

  • Windows
  • Web sites and browsers

The Unified Functional Testing Workshop is intended for:

  • New users of Unified Functional Testing (UFT), who need to automate manual testing and verification in a short amount of time
  • Quality assurance engineers who assume technical lead roles in the use of QuickTest Professional/UFT applications
