JUMP OVER TESTING OBSTACLES

OpenText UFT solutions

Overcoming traditional testing
barriers can be a constant struggle
to get on top of organizational
demands. It takes time to build
effective tests, and that doesn’t
even include actually running thetests to get results on the qualityof your code and applications.

Test automation requires a skill
set that not every member of thequality assurance team has. New
platforms, devices, and operating
systems are always entering themarketplace and changing howand what you test.

2Any minor change could break atest, and that holds everything
up. To get testing back on track,
your teams need to make updates.
This continuous maintenanceholds everyone back. Once tests
are written, they need to be run.
But too often, tests run slowly,
delaying timely feedback.

The world has changed and so should
automation. We need to work smarter.
But what does that really mean?

Reduce maintenance cost withsharable testing scripts
Testers should share their assets acrossdifferent tests and scenarios. Being
able to reuse scripts is key to reducing
maintenance cost—not just withinfunctional testing but also between
developers and automation engineers
and into performance testing basedon actual usage scenarios.

Demand a flexible ecosystem
Testing should integrate tightly withthe entire ecosystem. It should help
break down silos while bringing IT
operations, technology development,
quality engineering, and businessroles together.

Shift everywhere to enable everyone
Automation efforts aren’t just fordevelopers. Pair shift-left solutions fordevelopers and technical staff withshift-right solutions that enable quality
assurance members, unit leaders,and non-technical staff to contribute.
Shift-right solutions lower barriers
and make it possible to test earlier inthe process.

Centralize device availability
Not having enough devices available
spells disaster. By providing easy
access to any device remotely, testers
and developers can get the devices
they need, when they need them. Thismaximizes return while reducing yourinvestment in owning and maintaining
physical devices.

Flex artificial intelligence
AI takes a lot of the work out of testers’
hands. They’re left free to focus on test
flow and other tasks that really matter.
AI object detection can speed up test
design and help maintain test integrity.

OpenText UFT One ›OpenText™ UFT One improves efficiency byperforming more tests per testing cycle inless time. It scales testing across distributed,
cloud-ready functional testing infrastructuresand executes tests in parallel on web andmobile devices with full cross-browser
coverage. UFT One uses AI-object detection
to interact with objects the same way ahuman tester does. This allows customers to
run a single script on multiple platforms
and devices.

OpenText UFT Developer ›Accelerate your testing process
Seamlessly combine GUI and API testing, allowing
even non-programmers to create and run automatedfunctional tests.
Get extensive technology supportWith support for more from 200 applications andtechnologies, including SAP®, Salesforce, Java™, web,mobile, and mainframe, UFT One offers a consistenttesting experience across all supported technologies.
Benefit from integration for seamless DevOps
UFT One plays a pivotal role in the DevOps ecosystem,
integrating effortlessly with OpenText™ ALM Octane™,
OpenText™ ALM Quality Center, and numerous
third-party continuous integration and continuousOpenText™ UFT Developer is designed
for programmers and other testing personnelwith programming knowledge. It allows
developers to use their preferred integrated
development environment, programming
language, and test framework forgreater convenience.
UFT Developer embeds testing capabilities within IntelliJ IDEA™,
Eclipse™ and Visual Studio™, allowing developers to shift testingleft by creating tests at the same time they develop software
applications. It supports common technologies, languages,IDEs, operating systems, source code management tools, andcontinuous integration tools.

testing platforms.

UFT Developer is also tightly integrated with OpenText™
Service Virtualization, enabling web and mobile tests torun in a variety of scenarios. Users can run tests even if
the real services are not available, data access is restricted
and difficult to attain, or the test assumes specific behavior
from the service that is hard to configure.
Speedy test creation UFT
Developer offers a record/replay capability for rapid test
creation, centralized management of test objects throughthe Application Model, and the ability to run multiple tests
in parallel.
Enhanced visibility and reportingGet detailed descriptions of test execution flows,
clear reasons for test failures, screen snapshots, andHTML-based reports viewable on any platform.

Real devices at your fingertips
Access a centralized lab of real mobile devices and emulatorsfrom anywhere.
Seamless mobile testing
Leverage your automated functional testing from UFT One and
UFT Developer to mobile devices.
Remote access
Developers and testers can develop, debug, test, monitor, andoptimize mobile apps with remote access to a centralized mobile
device lab.

OpenText ValueEdge Functional Test ›Equip yourself with a comprehensive,
AI-powered, cloud-based solution forfunctional testing, offering business-centricmodel-based testing, codeless test authoring,
and a testing lab for execution on any host,mobile device, or browser.
AI object detection
Create resilient automated testing scripts and save time fortesters. ValuEdge tests are resistant to innocuous changes
that don’t affect the test’s flow, but could cause traditional test
automation to fail and require constant test maintenance.

Codeless design
Non-technical team members and colleagues can be part of test
automation activities, interacting with objects on screen anddefining test flow using simple English.
Model-based testing
A shift-right tool fosters collaboration and helps align testingwith business requirements to optimize test coverage.
Execution
Schedule and run tests and test suites on the cloud, view test
progression, and get detailed test results and insight into trends.
