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.

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.
