HP Unified Functional Testing (UFT 11.5) – QTP’s Latest Version

STEP 1 : What is HP UFT 11.5

HP released one new version with the name of UFT (Unified Functional Testing).

It is combination of QTP (Quick Test Professional) and Service Test (ST) Tools. We can automate GUI, API and Mobile applications functionality using this tool

STEP 2 : Earlier HP has 2 tools

1. QTP for GUI applications functional testing  

2. Service Test for web services Testing (GUI less testing)

In QTP 11.0 they have introduced a new concept that the service test script (written in service test) we can call in the middle of the QTP-script, so we can have GUI Test developed in QTP and GUI Less script developed in services test can run in the same Test.
