OpenText is rolling out new groundbreaking capabilities in the latest release of the ValueEdge Functional Test module, version 24.3. These enhancements potentially revolutionize how teams approach functional test automation, making processes more efficient, inclusive, and versatile. Let’s take a look at three major enhancements.

Generative AI for Converting Manual Tests to Automated Codeless Tests

The time and headaches that come with manual testing are diminishing. The new version of ValueEdge Functional Test adds an Aviator capability that delivers generative AI (GenAI) that converts manual tests into automated codeless tests. This innovation employs generative artificial intelligence to create automated tests from existing manual tests, saving time for testing, boosting testing efficiency, and increasing test reliability. This capability significantly reduces the time required to develop and maintain automated tests, allowing teams to focus on higher-value tasks.

How It Works:

• Smart Conversion: The GenAI analyzes your existing manual test scripts and automatically converts them into automated tests.
• Codeless Automation: These automated tests are codeless, meaning you don’t need extensive programming knowledge to understand or modify them.

Exapanded OCR Language Support

The latest update to ValueEdge Functional Test now supports inspecting text in additional languages besides English. This allows you to configure the OCR to match preferred languages, resulting in a test more fully tailored to your needs.

Key Features:

• Multilingual Support: You can now choose from a broader range of OCR languages, making it easier to test applications in multiple languages.
• Enhanced Accuracy: The expanded language support improves the accuracy of text recognition in different languages, reducing errors and enhancing the reliability of your tests.
• User-Friendly Interface: Selecting the desired OCR language is straightforward, ensuring that testers can quickly and efficiently set up their inspections.

This enhancement is particularly beneficial for teams working on international projects, as it ensures that their applications are tested comprehensively across all supported languages.

Use Selenium Code for Automated Model Based Testing (MBT)

Selenium is a widely-used tool for browser automation, and many teams have extensive libraries of Selenium code. ValueEdge Functional Test 24.3 introduces a powerful feature that allows you to write or repurpose existing Selenium code as units for automated MBT.

Benefits:

• Leverage Existing Assets: Instead of starting from scratch, you can utilize your existing Selenium scripts, saving time and resources.
• Integrated Workflow: Seamlessly integrate these scripts as units into your MBT framework, ensuring a cohesive and efficient testing process.

By enabling the reuse of existing Selenium code, ValueEdge Functional Test ensures that your past investments in test automation continue to deliver value, while also streamlining the transition to more advanced MBT approaches.

Why ValueEdge Functional Test

The ValueEdge Functional Test module version 24.3 brings significant advancements that empower testing teams to work smarter, faster, and more effectively. Whether it’s through the use of generative AI to automate manual tests, expanded OCR language support, or the ability to repurpose existing Selenium code, these new capabilities are designed to meet the evolving needs of today’s dynamic software development environments.

Stay ahead of the curve and take your testing processes to the next level with ValueEdge 24.3. Embrace these innovations and witness the transformative impact they can have on your software quality.
