UFT Advanced

This comprehensive online course covers all the essential advanced scripting techniques in Unified Functional Testing (UFT) 12 for GUI applications.

Designed for testers with previous automation experience, the course takes the UFT developer through advanced programming approaches in the expert view, providing them with the skills to overcome common real-world scenarios. By the end of the course you should have a complete understanding of how to develop reliable, robust UFT test scripts.

Our online courses are all run in real time with a live trainer, who hosts video conferencing session for each lesson with all delegates dialling-in and connecting.,over three sessions. Each session is three hours long and is delivered over a three-day period.

A workbook is provided and homework exercises are included.
