Unified Functional Testing Patch UFT_00001 Released

With the release of the critical UFT 11.5 Service Pack 11.51 (UFT_00001) Unified Functional Testing now supports Windows 8, IE 10 and more.

I've been getting a ton of emails asking when Windows 8 and IE 10 will be supported so I'm happy that this patch is released.

What is new in UFT 11.51

UFT 11.51 Service Pack 1 adds supports for the following

  • Windows 8
  • IE 10
  • Firefox 16 & 17
  • PeopleSoft PeopleTools 8.52
  • SAP CRM 7 – including support for the new SAP web Dynpro ABAP 7.01 & 7.02 controls
  • Siebel 8.2.2
  • Rocket BlueZone 6.x terminal emulator
  • Action templates are now supported
  • External Action Properties added
  • Keyword View – Insert Report Step
  • Run Session Stop Key
  • Errors Pane unmapped repository fix
  • Application Area changes

For more detail be sure to read the 11.51 Service Pack Readme after you install. (C:\Program Files\Hp\Unified Functional Testing\help\Readme.htm)

Other UFT 11.51 Patches
HP also released two other 11.51 patches for UFT:

  • UFTEXA_00001 - UFT Extensibility Accelerator Tool
  • UFTRRV_00001 - UFT Run Results Viewer 11.51

How to Get Service Pack 11.51

Like I said, this is a critical patch, so save yourself some headaches and install it now. To get UFT_00001.EXE either request it from HP support or you can download it from http://www.joecolantonio.com/downloads

Wow, Joe, you are on top of things! thanks for this information. My UFT tests are running so slowly, 50% more slowly that they ran in QTP 11.0. I have Run mode set to FAST…and saved the test under a new name just in case there is a script conversion process that might help…
I am going to apply this patch and hopefully that will speed things up.
Thank you, Joe, for all you do! Totally appreciate your blogs! ~Laura

Hi there!

thanks for all the good work!

How do you uninstall this new series of patches?

I can launch UFT but when opening a test I get a System.BadImageFormatException error…

Hi Joe,

Recently discovered your site, and I think it is really great.

On this specific patch, though, you might want to highlight that the support for Windows 8 and IE 10 is “not officially supported” and at “technology preview level”. I didn’t find that out until after I installed the patch. That comment is available only from the patch Readme, which is available only after installing the patch.

We are are migrating to UFT 11.51 and QC/ALM11 in a Win 8 environment. I am unable to connect to QC/ALM11 via UFT 11.51.
Has anyone else encountered this issue? if so, how did you get around it.

I am trying to run API test to compare a csv file to the table from the database, the csv file is large which is about 40 plus mb, and UFT doesn’t seem to function properly. I ran it for hours but it doean’t finish..
