UFT (Unified Functional Testing) software is an industry-leading functional & regression test automation tool for testing software applications & environments. UFT uses Object-based, a Visual Basic scripting language to write test cases and automate tests. UFT is formerly known as QTP (Quick Test Professional). UFT plays a major role in test automation for web, API, mobile, RPA, hybrid, and enterprise apps. It delivers bug-free quality software as per real-time industry needs. It supports end-to-end testing from a single tool, API testing without extensive coding, visual test-driven design, and more. The need for knowledgeable UFT test engineers is high in demand in the current IT market. This QTP/ UFT training course has been designed to suit current industry trends and requirements.
