Introduction
Hello and welcome back Automation Geeks. In this article, Selenium vs UFT, we are going to discuss a very common topic of discussion among Automation engineers how Selenium differs from UFT (Unified Functional Testing).
So, both Selenium and UFT (Unified Functional Testing, formerly known as HP QuickTest Professional or QTP) are both popular automation tools used for software testing. They have significant differences in terms of features, cost, support, and approach to automation. We would try to list them under Selenium vs UFT.
Selenium vs UFT
| Labels | Selenium | UFT |
|---|---|---|
| Type | Totally Open Source with no li | Commercial or Licensing cost |
| Platform Support | Focuses on web application testing. limited support for mobile web testing. | Supports a broader range of platforms, including web, desktop, and mobile applications. |
| Scripting Language | Supports various programming languages, including Java, Python, C#, Ruby, JavaScript, etc. | Uses its own scripting language called “VBScript” (Visual Basic Scripting Edition). |
| Testing Approach | Selenium follows a “do-it-yourself” approach | UFT follows a “record-and-playback” approach |
| Extensibility | A rich ecosystem of plugins and extensions that enhance its capabilities | It also supports extensions and integrations with various third-party tools, but its extensibility is not as vast as that of Selenium. |
| Community and Support | Selenium has a large and active open-source community, providing extensive resources, tutorials, and support forums. | UFT has a strong user base and is backed by a commercial vendor. |
Conclusion
In this article, we have discussed various aspects of Selenium vs UFT. Selenium is a popular open-source automation tool with a strong focus on web application testing and extensive language and platform support. It requires more coding expertise but offers more flexibility and customization options. On the other hand, UFT is a commercial tool with broader platform support. It does have a user-friendly interface but limited scripting language options and a more restrictive licensing model. The choice between Selenium and UFT depends on project requirements, team expertise, and budget considerations.
