Mobile Testing – 5 reasons you need UFT Mobile

Mobile Testing - 5 reasons you need UFT Mobile

Mobile testing is tricky without the right tools.

 Over the last couple of articles we’ve discussed some of the challenges that Mobile Testing brings, including:

  • The prohibitive amount of execution effort
  • The number of different device/OS combinations
  • Simulating real-world network conditions 

We’ve discussed tooling in general terms – it’s the only practical way to get through a proper mobile test cycle – but we haven’t looked at tool options yet. 

This week I want to do just that and take a look at the current world leading mobile testing tool, Micro Focus UFT MobileI’m going to look at 5 ways UFT Mobile can help you address your mobile testing challenges.

5 ways UFT Mobile can help you

As we’ve seen, there are so many considerations to mobile testing – Which devices, screen sizes and operating systems? How to simulate network conditions and roaming? There’s also device security, power consumption and battery life? Not to mention usability, or how your app will cope with changes to user settings?

Micro Focus UFT Mobile is built for exactly these challenges.

UFT Mobile will make your life so much easier:

  1. Shrink Your Execution Effort with automation – Mobile Test Automation with UFT Mobile will slash your test cycle execution times. Weeks become nights, or even hours. Kick off the tests before you shut down for the evening and have the results ready first thing in the morning – Instead of waiting weeks for manual executions.
  2. No more wasted effort finding and maintaining devices – With UFT Mobile you will never need to find a device again. UFT Mobile provides remote access to real mobile devices and in-built emulators so you can access your in-scope phones and tablets at the touch of a button. 
  3. Simulate your real-world network conditions – UFT Mobile lets you simulate multiple different network conditions and signal strengths. This allows you to see how your solution will perform in the real world. No more guesswork, no more unpredictable performance.
  4. Leverage your existing assets with open source tool integration – UFT Mobile integrates with your existing tools to make your life as easy as possible. You don’t have to duplicate effort across solutions, you don’t have to create bespoke integration harnesses. UFT Mobile will fit seamlessly into your current landscape – including integrations with UFT One and with open source automated testing tools such as Appium and Selenium.
  5. Make sure your mobile solution is functional, secure and performant – UFT Mobile is your central location for all mobile testing. UFT Mobile integrates with your other tools (such as Fortify and LoadRunner) so you can execute functionalsecurity and performance testing across all of your in-scope devices.

Mobile testing is tricky without the right tools, but UFT Mobile does make is significantly easier. mobile testing easier and quicker. We’ve seen 5 ways UFT Mobile can help you address your mobile testing challenges. The next step is to get your hands on the tool and see for yourself.

What can testers learn from SpaceX

What Can Testers Learn From SpaceX?

As a test professional, I’ve seen countless projects where defects are treated as disasters rather than learning opportunities. But what if we flipped that mindset? What if software development projects embraced failure as SpaceX does—not as an end, but as the beginning of progress?

video to defect

How to Generate Defect Reports from Videos!

Testers can now convert video recordings into detailed defect reports. This groundbreaking functionality accelerates project timelines with AI-powered speed and accuracy. Not only does this technology provide the holy trinity of speed, quality and cost savings, but it also solves a huge—often unspoken—issue on many projects: the breakdown of dev/test relations at the worst possible time.

A Testing Revolution? How to Turn Videos into Manual and Automated Test Cases

Imagine being able to record a user story and instantly turn it into manual and automated tests—how much time and effort would you save? Whether you’re preparing for SIT, UAT or streamlining regression testing, you can now generate manual and codeless automated test cases directly from video recordings, leveraging cutting-edge AI technology to streamline your testing processes.

Test Automation what's new

What’s New: Exciting Test Automation Tool Updates

As great as OpenText is at software development, it’s not always the best at keeping people informed about changes. So, today, I’m sharing a few recent updates to the OpenText automation tools. These are just a tiny sample of recently implemented changes. They focus on cloud capabilities, AI-powered object detection, codeless testing, and streamlined workflows that make test automation more accessible and efficient than ever.

Software Testing in 2030

Software Testing in 2030: 4 Ways QA Will Change

Over the next five years, software and software testing are set to evolve at a rate we’ve never seen. In fact, it has already started. Over the last few years, everyone remotely involved in tech has witnessed the constant change in the way things are done. This seemingly non-stop innovation has been driven by emerging technologies, shifting development paradigms, and businesses reevaluating their priorities… and is set to accelerate.

Software Testers v Rogue AI

Software Testers: Humanity’s Best Chance Against Rogue AI

In the race to protect us against rogue AI, our best defence might not be scientists or politicians, but the often-overlooked heroes of the tech world: software testers. As AI systems increasingly mediate healthcare, criminal justice, and military decisions, this unlikely profession could hold the key to preventing existential catastrophe.

4 testing breakthroughs

Software Testing AI: 4 Breakthroughs You Can’t Ignore in 2025

It’s 2025 and software testing AI can no longer be ignored. AI innovations in software testing can deliver unprecedented efficiency gains and bridge the gap between manual and automated workflows. This article contains four software testing AI breakthroughs you can’t ignore in 2025.

Remote Software Testing

Remote Testing Teams: 4 Strategies to Avoid Collaboration Disaster

It’s been years since the pandemic. Still, many companies I speak to have struggled to adapt to changing practices and have failed to implement effective working habits. Unfortunately, you can’t just continue as if nothing has changed—this approach just won’t cut it anymore. In this week’s insight, I provide four actionable approaches that I have picked up from the many successful testing projects I talk to. These easy fixes will help you prevent collaboration disasters in your remote testing teams.
