Micro Focus is proud to announce the release of Micro Focus UFT Developer 2021!

UFT Developer 2021 introduces Artificial Intelligence (AI) to its rich feature set, helping developers and DevTesters simplify test creation, streamline test execution, and reduce the time spent on test maintenance.

This latest version also delivers significant technology updates that extend the reach of shift-left functional test automation further than ever before.

To help highlight the features and benefits of this release, here are eight new things you should know about UFT Developer 2021.

#1. Shift-Left with AI-Driven Testing

UFT Developer joins the world of intelligent test automation with the adoption of AI!

AI testing in UFT Developer is technology-independent and identifies objects visually like human do—supporting object descriptions that include control type and associated text, as well as descriptions of other controls nearby.

Our new “AI Inspection” interface lets you start inspecting your app (or mockup images of your app), identifying objects, creating the steps you want to test, and automatically generating JavaScript or Java code to add to your test.

#2. Docker Container Enhancements

Our latest enhancements let you run TestNG tests on UFT Developer Docker containers. You can also run tests on web sites that use self-signed certificates by providing a certificate for the browser to use inside your container.

In addition, our images on Docker Hub now come with Java 11 installed to help reduce extra work for you.

#3. Web Testing Enhancements

Test even more in UFT Developer 2021 with our latest supported web and embedded browser enhancements.

• Testing web apps in Microsoft Edge WebView2 and NW.js embedded browsers
• Testing web apps on multiple Safari tabs and frames

You can also specify the location of your web driver rather than having to store it in the location specified by UFT Developer.

#4. Oracle Testing Enhancements

Oracle objects now support the “SelectFromPopupMenu” method, which opens a context menu and selects an option in it.

#5. Performance Enhancements

UFT Developer 2021 improves on its performance for running tests on Windows 10.
