UFT Mobile 2021 R2 Release Highlights

Micro Focus has released UFT Mobile 2021 R2. The latest version of their class-leading mobile test tool. We’ve selected our 3 release highlights.

Before we start, I want to clarify that, despite the name, UFT Mobile 2021 R2, was actually released in April 2022. 

If you’re not familiar with Micro Focus UFT Mobile, it waspreviously called Mobile Center. 

Built for testing mobile and tablet devices, UFT Mobile provides an end-to-end quality lab, consisting of both real devices and emulators. Your test team can reserve and control the physical devices remotely.

UFT Mobile integrates seamlessly with the following tools:

  • Micro Focus: UFT One, UFT Developer, LoadRunner, Network Virtualization and Sprinter.
  • Third-Party: Appium, Selenium.

Bug seeding

Bebugging: Would You Plant Defects to Test Testers?

Would you intentionally plant defects to test your test team? Bebugging, as it’s known, is a technique where software flaws are purposely introduced to gauge testing effectiveness. Are there times and places where bebugging is a valid way to help improve processes, tighten up testing, or root out a potential weak link?

Unethical Test Tool Marketing

Exposed: Are You Being Conned By Test Tool Marketing?

We have all witnessed an alarming rise in deceptive marketing practices that undermine customer decision-making and market integrity, with tool vendors increasingly comparing their tools to industry leaders using deliberately misleading information.

Flaky Automated Tests

Are Flaky Automated Tests Better Than None at All?

Is flaky automation better than no automation at all? Does it help accelerate projects and reduce timelines, or does it end up causing more problems than it solves? And are the questions moot when, with modern AI-powered tools, there’s no excuse for flaky tests?

Software Testing Concepts

Software QA Mythbusting: 5 Misunderstood Testing Concepts

We’ve all been there—sitting in a meeting, nodding along, confident that everyone shares the same understanding, only to discover later that our ideas were built on shaky ground, based on false assumptions and an incomplete grasp of a complex situation. In the world of software development, nowhere is this more common, or more consequential, than with software testing.

LoadRunner v JMeter

LoadRunner: Cheaper & Easier Than JMeter?

Four years ago, I wrote about how LoadRunner Cloud was debunking the myth that open-source is cheaper. At the time, LoadRunner Cloud’s pay-as-you-go pricing, bundled infrastructure, and rapid setup were already making it a compelling alternative to JMeter and similar tools.

MBT can transform software QA processes through enhanced collaboration between testers and subject matter experts (SMEs). It offers enhanced capabilities for businesses seeking efficient, comprehensive testing solutions in an increasingly complex software landscape.

Time to Ditch Jira

Is it Time to Ditch Jira? (… For Test Management)

Are you sick of Jira test management solutions? You’re not alone. I speak to dozens of businesses monthly across all different sectors. Many have been forced to use Jira for test management. The more positive people I talk to say it is okay at best.

Test Automation Framework Secret

Test Automation: Do Custom Frameworks Hide a Dirty Secret?

It’s 2025, yet many organisations still develop bespoke test automation harnesses and frameworks, stitching together a modular in-house automation solution.  This is due to various invalid assumptions and short-sighted commercial decisions.
