HPE Unified Functional Testing (UFT) software, formerly known as HP QuickTest Professional (QTP), provides functional and regression test automation for software applications and environments. HPE Unified Functional Testing can be used for enterprise quality assurance.

HPE Unified Functional Testing supports keyword and scripting interfaces and features a graphical user interface. It uses the Visual Basic Scripting Edition (VBScript) scripting language to specify a test procedure, and to manipulate the objects and controls of the application under test.

HPE Unified Functional Testing was originally written by Mercury Interactive and called QuickTest Professional. Mercury Interactive was subsequently acquired by Hewlett Packard(HP) in 2006. HP Unified Functional Testing 11.5 combined HP QuickTest Professional and HP Service Test into a single software package,[7] which was available from the HP Software Division until 2016, when whole division was sold to Micro Focus. The integrated HPE Unified Functional Testing software allows developers to test from a single console all three layers of a program's operations: the interface, the service layer and the database layer.

HPE Unified Functional Testing manages exception handling using recovery scenarios; the goal is to continue running tests if an unexpected failure occurs.[12] Because HPE Unified Functional Testing hooks into the memory space of the applications being tested, some exceptions may cause HPE Unified Functional Testing to terminate and be unrecoverable.

HPE Unified Functional Testing supports data-driven testing. For example, data can be output to a data table for reuse elsewhere. Data-driven testing is implemented as a Microsoft Excel workbook that can be accessed from HPE Unified Functional Testing. HPE Unified Functional Testing has two types of data tables: the Global data sheet and Action (local) data sheets. The test steps can read data from these data tables in order to drive variable data into the application under test, and verify the expected result.[13]

HPE Unified Functional Testing may not recognize customized user interface objects and other complex objects. Users can define these types of objects as virtual objects. HPE Unified Functional Testing does not support virtual objects for analog recording or recording in low-level mode.

HPE Unified Functional Testing can be extended with separate add-ins for a number of development environments that are not supported out-of-the-box. HPE Unified Functional Testing add-ins include support for Web, .NET, Java, and Delphi.[15] HP QuickTest Professional and the HP QuickTest Professional add-ins are packaged together in HP Functional Testing software.
