UFT Digital Lab 23.4: 3 Release Highlights

Whats new in digital lab 234

OpenText (previously Micro Focus) has released UFT Digital Lab v23.4. The latest version of their class-leading mobile device lab tool. We’ve selected our top three release highlights.

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

If you’re unfamiliar with OpenText UFT Digital Lab, it is an updated version of UFT Mobile, which itself was an updated version of Mobile Center.

UFT Digital Lab integrates seamlessly with the following tools:

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

UFT Digital Lab 23.4: 3 Release Highlights

UFT Digital Lab 23.4 includes several new features. We’ve been through the release information, so you don’t have to. Here are our top 3 release highlights:

1. Cross-Browser Testing: Support for New Browser Versions

Test against more browser versions than ever before without having to install and configure multiple setups with multiple configurations.

Cross-browser testing on the latest versions of supported browsers like Chrome, Edge and Firefox is easy with UFT Digital Lab. Browser support is regularly updated to ensure you have access to current and historical versions of leading browsers.

2. Manual Testing on Cloud Browsers

Digital Lab is no longer just for automated test execution; manual testers now benefit from the multiple devices mentioned above.

Testers can now perform manual and exploratory testing on cloud machines and browsers. This negates the need for multiple browser versions on local machines and allows easy testing coverage of specific browser versions that would otherwise require additional hardware and setup effort.

Check out the Browser Lab page in the Digital Lab Help Center for more details.

3. Talkback Accessibility Testing: Improved Device, OS, and Language Support

Accessibility testing is more important than ever; it’s also easier than ever with UFT Digital Lab.

Android Talkback improves the user experience for blind and visually impaired people. Digital Lab supports easy Talkback testing across multiple devices

The latest version includes support for accessibility testing on an impressive range of devices, including:

  • Google Pixel
  • Samsung Galaxy Ax1, Ax2, Ax3, and S
  • Xiaomi and Redmi Mi 10-13, and Note 7-12

Visit the Accessibility section of the Manual Testing page for more information.

AI for Test Data

How to Implement AI for Test Data: 10 Considerations

Test data has always been one of the slowest, least glamorous parts of software testing. It is rarely strategic work, but it holds everything up. No matter how good your test plan is, weak data can make the whole exercise unreliable.

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?
