Single sign-on (SSO) with Jenkins

Single Sign-On (SSO) ensures that automated processes adhere to corporate policies. As such, the Jenkins plugin for UFT One now supports working with ALM servers that require SSO authentication.

 

Azure DevOps Server extension

UFT One supports Microsoft’s CI/CD integration tool, previously known as Team Foundation Server (TFS), via our extension on the Azure DevOps’ Marketplace. This extension allows users to run tests stored on the local file system or ALM during build processes.

 

Improved AI Codeless with The New Look

UFT One’s newly introduced AI-based testing continues to evolve. UFT AI Codeless has a new look and many new capabilities. Additionally, the AI testing capabilities within UFT offer the following enhancements:

  • Improved association of control with the text that helps identify it
  • Uniquely differentiate identical objects in the application based on location
  • Find a match to the partial text within a block when identifying text in your application
  • Perform more operations on controls identified by AI via the Utility objects in UFT’s code

The AI Codeless Testing Tool feature is not part of UFT. It is a standalone tool that lets you experiment with AI Codeless testing. Installing AI Codeless requires additional prerequisites.

 

AgGrid and UIGrid Sub-Add-ins

The WebAgGrid and WebUIGrid test objects now belong to separate AgGrid and UIGrid sub-add-ins respectively, instead of belonging directly to the Web Add-in. By default, these add-ins are not loaded.
