Go gaga over Machine Learning

Recently at our STAG(Software Test Automation Group) meetup we had Kate Droukman who presented how we could learn and use LeanFT. Source: http://www.meetup.com/Software-Test-Automation-Group/events/230219080/

Here is another amazing podcast on how LeanFT is used straight from the HP LeanFT team : Thanks to Joe who runs these wonderful podcasts. Source:  http://www.joecolantonio.com/2016/04/14/episode-07-title-podcast/

Findings and POC for using LeanFT as part of the Contentious Integration build: LeanFT uses the UFT SDK  Allows coding your tests in C# and Java in your favorite IDE (documentation is focused around Visual Studio and Eclipse) Any add-in can be automated Standard Windows, WPF, .NET, Mobile etc.. Prerequisite: You should now see:  C:\Program Files (x86)\HP\LeanFT\bin Browser Prerequisite: In the Firefox browser menu, select Add-ons and then click Extensions. Drag the Agent.xpi file from the%LeanFT%\Installations\Firefox folder to the Firefox Extension page and click ‘Install now’. If you are testing against Chrome ensure the LeanFT plugin is enabled from Chrome Settings -> Extensions. With IE, go to Settings -> Manage Addons where HP Functional Testing Agent must be enabled.

Can you believe that HP has come up with this new tool/plugins that they call LeanFT, obviously the name suggests that it's the lean way of doing functional testing. Let's see what they claim: Key Highlights and what's good: Automation in Java or C# - definitely something that most automation folks were looking forward to Compatible with UFT's object Identification engine- hmm :) Continuous Integration - Has integration with Jenkins  Supports BDD tools like Cucumber/Jbehave Integration with SCM tools like Git/SVN IDE would be your standard Eclipse / TFS Same reporting as before but with all of the above Unit testing frameworks like JUnit/ Nunit Integration with other HP tools -  HP Application Lifecycle Management, HP Quality Center, and HP Mobile Center. Interesting fun facts: QTP's Object spy from Visual studio/Eclipse Free license if you already have the UFT 12.5 license customized html reports Release Date: July 2015 along with  UFT ...
