What is the QuickTest Professional (QTP)/Unified Functional Testing (UFT) Tool?

Testing the code for bugs through one or more testing activities across various stages of a project such as planning, requirements, developing, test execution, defect logging, test analysis, and reporting is the crucial part of the Software Development Life Cycle(SDLC). QTP/UFT is a functional automation testing tool that helps testers in running automated tests without monitoring to identify the errors/bugs and fix them. UFT was first developed by Mercury Interactive as Astra Quick Test, later named as Quick Test Professional. However, after the acquisition of Mercury Interactive by Hewlett Packard (HP), QTP was referred to as HP QTP, which was later owned by MicroFocus to be now known as MicroFocus UFT.

UFT is presently one of the most common tools used for automated testing. UFT can be used for functional testing, regression testing, and service testing. It is ideal for automating user actions on the web and then used to test for bugs for different users on multiple datasets. Moreover, it can be used across different platforms for cross-browser testing. With proper planning and execution, UFT can prove to be a time, effort, and money-saving tool when compared to manual testing.

With its ease of use and high efficiency, QTP is widely used in the market today. Additionally, one of the biggest advantages of QTP stands to be its versatility in testing mobile, client-server applications, and web applications alike. And hence, QTP professionals continue to be in huge demand despite the co-existence of many other popular test automation tools like Selenium.

The QTP uses VBScript language for writing test cases, manipulating objects, and controlling any application. Although the UFT is used to test the UI based applications, it can be used to test non-UI based applications as well, such as Database Testing, Web Services Testing, and Systems Operations. In a nutshell, the UFT tool enables the tester to test all three layers of programs’ operations from a single console- the interface layer, the service layer, and the database layer.

Advantages of MicroFocus UFT:

QTP/UFT is essentially an automated testing software designed to run test cases on a wide range of software applications in different environments. The evolution of QTP has brought a comprehensive list of advantages as it not only improves the speed of software testing but also perks up the efficiency.

  • It consists of record and playback features.
  • It is robust and can be used for running test cases on various applications built on different technologies and automation tools.
  • It supports the data-driven testing approach, modular testing approach, and keyword-driven testing approach.
  • With UFT add-ins, it can support .Net, Java, Delphi, Oracle, SAP, .Net, Web Forms, PeopleSoft, etc environments.
  • MicroFocus UFT acts as an Integrated Development Environment (IDE) for testing and modifying, with the help of two views – Keyword view and Expert view. The standard IDE features of UFT enables the tester to pause and test the code at predetermined places called breakpoints.
  • UFT provides a Test Reporting feature for performing analysis.
  • It supports XML.
  • UFT can be extended by integrating the Test Management Tools like HP Winrunner, Quality Center, Test Director for scheduling and monitoring.

Evolution of QTP/UFT Tools:

First developed by Mercury Interactive, the Quick Test Professional was known as Astra QuickTest from 1998 – 2001. After taking over Mercury Interactive in 2006 by Hewlett Packard, several versions of QTP were released and called by the name HP QTP until 2011. After the 11.5 version was released, the HP QTP and HP Service Test were bundled together and renamed as Unified Functional Testing (UFT) tool. The HP Software Division took care of the development of UFT until 2016. Subsequently, the HP Software Division, otherwise known as HPE was acquired by MicroFocus in 2017. What the veterans of the IT industry refer to as QTP is now MicroFocus UFT.
