1. Introduction
Unified Functional Testing = QTP + Service Tools
Micro Focus Unified Functional Testing (UFT), formerly known as QuickTest Professional (QTP), is software that provides functional and regression test automation for software applications and environments.
UFT uses the Visual Basic Scripting Edition (VBScript) scripting language to write test scripts, and to manipulate the objects and controls of the application under test.
UFT was originally developed by Mercury Interactive and called QuickTest Professional.
Mercury Interactive was subsequently acquired by Hewlett-Packard (HP) in 2006.
UFT 11.5 combined HP QuickTest Professional and HP Service Test into a single software package, which was available from the HP Software Division until 2016 when the division was ultimately sold to Micro Focus.
