Download UFT 11.5 trail version

On Dec 06, 2012 at HP Discover 2012 event , HP has released the long awaited HP Unified Functional Testing (UFT) 11.5 . We will explore the new features of  UFT 11.5 by HP UFT 11.5 trial version .Now HP has released the HP Unified Functional Testing (UFT) 11.5 trail version in the market for automation customers.We can use UFT 11.5 trial version for 30 days only.

With this UFT 11.5 version , we can know the QTP 11.5 (Quick Test Professional) features which is now called UFT and includes also API testing (or Service Test) apart from the familiar GUI testing. This version is a step in the correct direction towards a much more techie IDE (based on the open source Sharp Development), with better intellisense and an improved MDI and GUI, that is intended to improve user experience and enable automation developers to tackle the unfolding challenges of our era – more and more Web and Mobile on the technological side, and Agile development and ALM usage on the methodological side. A full independent review is published here at Automation UFT in the past – stay tuned! In the meantime you may read more in this post by Malcolm isaacs. The post also includes a UFT 11.5 download link to download the trial version of HP UFT 11.5 .

HP Unified Functional Testing Software suite is comes with combined components of  UFT 11.5 , HP Quick test Professional 11.5 and Service Test 11.5 .

HP UFT 11.5 = HP QTP 11.5 + HP ST 11.5

HP Quick test Professional 11.5 is functional automation tool in the HP Unified Functional Testing Software suite (UFT 11.5)

HP UFT 11.5 - Automation Software Testing Suite

Unified Functional Testing (UFT) is  HP's Automation Software Testing Suite which is combine of three different components ( QTP, QC and ST )previously each component available as separate tool , Now 3 tools in a single suite is called Unified Functional Testing (UFT) tool with  HP UFT 11.5 version .

Developers can also test all aspects of a mulch-tiered application from a single interface & This suite will also offer a cloud service that will allow developers to test mobile applications using UFT 11.5 .

"In past three years, we've been seeing huge shifts in how our customer base deliver applications," said Roi Carmel, HP senior director of product management for application lifecycle management. "Applications used to be delivered every year, or every year and a half. Now they are delivered on an iterative basis, sometimes every month."

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.

HP Unified Functional Testing (UFT) 11.5 provides automated functional and regression testing services for development teams that build enterprise applications. The software generates documentation of the testing run-throughs and keeps a library of how individual applications work.

UFT 11.5 simplifies the testing process by combining a number of different tests into one screen, Carmel said.In prior versions of UFT, developers could test an application's interface and then invoke triggers to set off other HP tools -- namely HP Functional Testing (QTP) and HP Service Test -- to test the program's operations at the database and service layers. Now, developers can test, from a single console, all three layers: the interface, the service layer and the database layer.

This unified testing brings a number of benefits, Carmel explained. It cuts down on possible errors because multiple scripts no longer have to be coordinated for effective testing. It also allows developers to test the whole software stack, not just a single layer, giving them deeper insight into possible issues and potential improvements that can be made.

The consolidation of features also better supports continuous integration, a practice of frequently testing the software being developed, through the use of tools such as Jenkins, to which UFT can be connected.

UFT 11.5 also includes a new patented recognition technology that can scan applications and document how they operate. While HP maintains a library of how many application frameworks and connective technologies operate, the new insight object recognition feature can document obscure programs not already covered by HP.

The new feature is a set of algorithms that "automatically recognizes user interfaces just like a human does," Carmel said. "It can look at a user interface and really understand what it does -- what a text box is, what a button does."

The updated software will also work in conjunction with a new cloud service HP will offer to allow developers to test mobile devices. HP will maintain emulations of the Google Android, Apple iOS, Microsoft Windows Phone and other mobile OSes, against which developers can test their code directly from within UFT 11.5 itself.

HP has also updated Sprinter, a tool designed to aid manual software testing. Sprinter 11.5 will allow users to export their test macros to UFT, in cases where large portions of a test could be automated. The software also can highlight spelling errors and check for localization and compliance issues.

UFT works with HP's Application Lifecycle Management (ALM) software for managing software projects. It is a part of the company's HP IT Performance Suite, which can be used to help manager enterprise software.

HP will explain more about the new features of UFT 11.5 during an online seminar to be held Nov. 28. The company did not disclose pricing information for these new products.

UFT - HP's next Generation Test Automation tool

Is automation testing adoptable for GUI,API,Packaged apps and mobile in single tool with seamless end2end technology stack? Most of the Enterprise clients are following scrum product development. Historically, test automation has not met with the SPEED and QUALITY level of success that it could in development.

Why is this, we might ask? Well, realizing that we must develop technology agnostic single stop automation tool  to support GUI,Functional,API,Packaged applications and mobile . As we set out on our task of automating test, we must keep these past lessons forefront.

Here we Introducing - HP Unified Functional Testing(UFT) 11.5. UFT is next version of QTP automation tool with new features and latest supporting technologies .

Some of key highlights of the UFT :

• A user-friendly modern IDE
• Testing of - GUI ,API and Mobile
• Insight Feature - Image based identification of Object
• Continuous Integration with open source CI systems like Jenkins, Hudson
• support Technologies - Ajax,Flex,QT apps( cross-platform application framework ) and 20+ new advanced technology apps and many more....

 As per HP sources ,  UFT 11.5 automation testing tool would be released  by the end of Dec 2012.
