Hidden Gems: Accelerate Your Device Testing with UFT Mobile

Accelerate Device Testing with UFT Mobile

Mobile testing presents an ever-increasing challenge to the test team. Devices are already more important and more complex than ever before, and these trends are set to continue indefinitely. UFT Mobile is by far the best tool for this challenge, but hardly anybody knows about it.

What is UFT Mobile?

UFT Mobile (previously called Mobile Center) provides an end-to-end lab of real mobile & tablet devices and emulators to help you test mobile applications.  From exploratory testing to automated testing and performance testing, you can control the devices to mimic almost everything that a person can do with a phone.

UFT Mobile Lets You Accelerate Device Testing

A lot of mobile development time is taken up by testing; it slows your release frequency, stalls your updates, and gives your rivals extra breathing room. With UFT Mobile though, you can accelerate your device testing and reduce your development time.

This hidden gem could be the secret to your success… and allow you to get ahead of the competition.

UFT Mobile Solves Your Biggest Mobile Testing Challenge

Earlier this year, Calleo ran a poll across our network – What is your biggest challenge when mobile testing. The results were resounding; over half of respondents said that sourcing mobile devices is the biggest challenge when mobile testing. 

As we discussed in our article, the challenge isn’t just the number of devices, but accessing these devices. This is especially challenging with the remote and hybrid working models.

UFT Mobile solves your biggest challenge with 2 innovative solutions:

  1. Mobile farms let you connect physical devices that your whole team can connect to and share – regardless of where they are working from home/office.
  2. The mobile lab you can access devices via the cloud or use emulators. 

Automating Mobile Tests is Easy with UFT Mobile

Connected to the right mobile devices might be the biggest challenge, but it’s not the end of the story. You then need to run your tests across all these devices – this requires either:

  1. A lot of time
  2. A lot of resources, or
  3. Effective mobile test automation. 

To be honest, ‘A lot of time’ and ‘A lot of resources’ are both understatements. In our article, how the numbers get crazy when mobile testing, we show how it can take 200 hours to test 5 simple mobile processes.

Integration with UFT One

The only realistic answer is mobile test automation and UFT Mobile is the perfect tool for the job. UFT Mobile includes a free UFT One license, this gives you class-leading mobile test automation.

With platform-agnostic scriptsUFT One streamlines the number of automated tests you need to create and maintain – further reducing the time and effort involved.

Integration with Open-Source Tools

UFT Mobile will also integrate with open-source test automation tools including Selenium and Appium.

A Hidden Gem: Accelerate Device Testing With UFT Mobile

With its ability to revolutionise your mobile testing, UFT Mobile is a true hidden gem. There isn’t another tool that has as much functionality, and yet hardly anyone seems to know about it.

Not only does UFT Mobile allow easy connection to physical, cloud and emulated devices, but it also accelerates your testing even further through UFT One integration and platform-agnostic automated scripts.

While others are struggling with their mobile testing, UFT Mobile could be exactly what you need to get ahead of the competition.

Choosing Performance

How to Choose a Performance Testing Tool

If you’re looking for a new performance tool or new to performance testing, it can be a tough subject to get your head around. I’ve been involved in the industry for 3 decades, and during that time, it has evolved massively. Increasingly, I talk to people at companies who’ve never

DevWeb is better than JMeter

5 Ways DevWeb Is Better Than JMeter

JMeter often becomes the default because it looks free. There is no license fee, and it appears flexible enough to do almost anything. But JMeter’s ease is often a myth. In reality, it is rarely the most sensible or low-cost choice.

Testing is Vital

Seriously Though, Five Reasons Testing is Vital

In the last main Testing Times edition (April fools day), I argued, quite ludicrously, that testing is a waste of time. That it slows releases, costs money, and ruins everyone’s fun. Judging by the comments, a few readers took it a bit too literally. So let’s be serious for a minute.

Aviator Testing AI

DevOps Aviator: AI Made For Testers

DevOps Aviator brings generative AI into software delivery to help test teams move sooner, reduce manual effort, and get answers faster. It is part of the broader Aviator suite: a set of AI capabilities embedded across OpenText products.

Testing is a waste of time

5 Reasons Testing is a Waste of Time

Let’s be honest, testing is what teams do when they don’t trust their developers. It’s a tax on speed, a relic from waterfall days, and a crutch for people afraid to ship. It just slows down releases, kills creativity, and wastes budget that could be better spent on another sprint.

OpenText Summit 2026

OpenText Summit: Why This Free Event Is Worth Your Time

You walk into a room where people are talking about the exact problems you wrestle with: tricky deployments, clunky processes, and how to test faster. Sometimes, the right conversation with the right person is enough to unlock a solution or a possibility you hadn’t even considered.

Python

Functional Testing 26.1: Adds Python, Cloud Testing, and more AI

With 26.1, OpenText is giving you something concrete: Python‑based automation, AI‑assisted verification, and cloud labs that fit into your existing CI/CD. This turns functional testing from a separate QA activity into a shared capability that developers, SDETs, and testers can all contribute to.

LoadRunner AI

LoadRunner 26.1: A New Direction in Performance Testing?

OpenText’s version 26.1 is a clear statement of where the Performance Engineering (LoadRunner) family is heading: AI-assisted, simplifying complex tasks and enabling your team to be more productive. This creates a very practical question: how do you buy and deploy these new capabilities in a way that actually moves the needle on risk, cost, and delivery speed?

Hooked on Open Source

Revealed: How Consultancies Get You Hooked on Bad Tools

Picture the scene: you’re about to engage a consultancy for testing services, and their proposal leans heavily on open‑source tools, but there’s a nagging doubt… a misalignment between what you’re paying for and what they’re delivering.

You want the guidance and support to prevent costly mistakes; they want more billable days.
