HP Unified Functional Testing 

HP Unified Functional Testing (UFT) software is HP’s main automated functional testing tool and incorporates the features of various important legacy products such as QuickTest Professional, WinRunner, and HP Service Test. UFT automates functional tests by recording the actions of a user on the system under test and replaying the actions on demand to execute a test. The recorded actions are stored in UFT as a simple program known as a script. Scripts can be displayed in UFT either as a Visual Basic Script (VB Script) program (expert view), or as a sequence of steps labelled by icons (keyword view). The tool can test the success or failure of any step with a ‘checkpoint’, which compares the actual result produced by the system under test at the time of execution, with an expected result stored in UFT at the time of recording.
