OpenText Functional Testing for Developers (UFT Developer)

Formerly UFT Developer

OpenText Functional Testing for Developers (UFT Developer) brings lean, code-centric functional and API automation to developers and SDETs who need to test closer to the codebase.

How Checkpoint Technologies approaches this platform

Shift-left only works when developers have patterns, standards, and support — not just another tool login. Checkpoint Technologies helps teams adopt UFT Developer inside real delivery: coding standards for tests, CI integration, pairing with QA on coverage strategy, and mentoring that makes developer-led automation durable.

What teams usually struggle with

Developers write tests inconsistently or abandon them under deadline pressure
UFT Developer is not integrated into CI/CD workflows
QA and development disagree on what should be automated where
API coverage is thin while UI automation carries too much weight
