Qualitia for Desktop feature allows you to create script-less test cases to automate testing of desktop applications. It uses MicroFocus Unified Functional Testing (UFT) to add objects and test suite executions.

The functionality to work with test artefacts, such as creating test cases and executing test suites, for the desktop applications remains the same as the web and mobile applications.

However, the way you create test objects for desktop applications differs. This topic provides details on how to work with desktop objects. For detailed instructions on how to work with objects for desktop applications, refer to Working with Desktop Objects.

Types of Desktop Objects

In Qualitia, a desktop object contains attributes such as class, properties, and property values.  

There are two types of desktop application objects:

  • Descriptive Programming (DP) 
    You can create DP objects manually or import UFT objects from a Test Shared Repository (*.tsr file). If necessary, you can update the DP objects in Qualitia Automation Studio.
    For detailed instructions on how to work with DP objects, refer to Working with DP Objects.

  • Object Repository (OR)
    The UFT objects that are stored in a Test Shared Repository (tsr). You can specify the path to the tsr file to map the repository with Qualitia Automation Studio. The UFT objects in the mapped repository are then available in Qualitia Studio and can be used in test cases.
    For detailed instructions on how to work with OR objects, refer to Working with OR Objects.

Info

You cannot modify the UFT objects in Qualitia Studio. You can modify the existing UFT objects or add new objects in the repository and easily synchronize the changes in Qualitia Automation Studio.

The Object Repository Manager of MicroFocus Unified Functional Testing (UFT) adds and maintains the set of objects as tsr files. For more information on this, please refer to the UFT One Help Center.
