Go gaga over Machine Learning

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.

If you have started using UFT then I am sure you would have at-least given this feature a try: UFT Insight = Image based identification  Mandatory /assistive/smart identification does not work in Insight Ordinal /Visual relation identifier do Insight objects contain the image either internally (when created during record or learn) or by supplying an image using the ImgSrc property Descriptive programming: InsightObject("ImgSrc:=C:\Image.jpg").Click InsightObject("ImgSrc:=C:\Image.jpg").Click SetTOProperty: InsightObject.SetTOProperty "ImgSrc", "C:\Image.jpg" InsightObject.Click Options for Insight Object are at Tools>Options>GUI Testing>Insight. This pane enables you to define options that customize how UFT handles Insight test objects Hope you got enough insight, Happy Testing!

If you really do not want to  RTFM here you go: Here is what HP had to say way back in 2012/early 2013: "It's time to bring much awaited HP Unified Functional Testing 11.5 (QTP + Service Test = UFT) has been released today (Dec 06, 2012) at HP Discover 2012 event"   As you would have guessed it the new version of HP QTP which is being called HP Unified Functional Testing 11.5 (UFT 11.5). UFT 11.5 is actually a combination of HP QTP (for testing GUI - Vbscript) and HP Service Test (for testing API/web services - C#). New modern unified IDE aligned with modern IDEs (like Eclipse) / have many new features such as script editing, coding, MDI, checkpoints, auto completion etc  Image Based Automation – Using HP UFT Insight  (Not very successful but is a good last resort) Integrat...
