UFT One 2021 – 3 Release Highlights
UFT One 2021 includes several new features. We’ve highlighted the top 3 release highlights for you below:
1. Significant AI Enhancements
UFT One 2021 adds additional AI-based testing functionality to an already powerful tool. Included in the latest release are:
- Remote AI Service – You can install the AI service on a powerful central machine. Less powerful script development computers (e.g. laptops) can tap into this AI service as required, and benefit from the increase in AI speed.
- AI model update – AI models are the frameworks used to build scripts, they identify and categorise on-screen objects, and control how UFT interacts with them. This new model is more accurate and improves test performance.
- Object identification verification – This automatically checks whether an object has changed, prior to performing an operation
Also included in the AI Changes are
- New methods
- Renewed interface for learning AI objects and building tests
- Text recognition in additional languages
- Additional control types supported
- Container objects
- Performance improvement
