- Reference information for the UI Test perspective
  In this section, you will learn all the reference or additional information about the UI Test perspective.
- Reference information for the Functional Test perspective
  In this section, you will learn all the reference or additional information about the Functional Test perspective.
  - Test application domain support
    HCL DevOps Test UI (Test UI) is an object-oriented automated testing tool that tests Windows®, .NET, Java™, HTML, SAP, AJAX, PowerBuilder, Visual Basic and GEF applications.
    - Adobe PDF documents support
      HCL DevOps Test UI (Test UI) supports testing of Portable Document Format (PDF) read-only files created for Adobe Reader versions 7.0, 8.0, 9.0, 10.0, and 11.0. (Adobe Reader 11 is the last supported version of the Reader application.) You can test PDF files that are displayed in a browser or in the stand-alone Adobe Reader application. A functional test script that is recorded for files that are displayed in the stand-alone Adobe Reader application can be played back when the file is displayed in a browser and vice-versa, provided that the script is recorded for document controls only. Support for Adobe PDF requires Visual C++ 2013 or higher.
    - AJAX support
      HCL DevOps Test UI (Test UI) supports testing AJAX-based web applications.
    - Application Response Measurement support
      The Application Response Measurement (ARM) standard helps measure the end-to-end transaction performance of an application, including service levels and response time. HCL DevOps Test UI (Test UI) uses the response time breakdown to view the statistics that is captured while running a test.
    - Eclipse support
      HCL DevOps Test UI (Test UI) supports testing of Eclipse-based applications.
    - GEF support
      HCL DevOps Test UI (Test UI) allows testing the functionality of GEF objects that are implemented using standard GEF editors and non-standard GEF editors. GEF editor is based on Eclipse Modelling Framework (EMF) that provides many features for manipulating models. GEF displays a model graphically, employs MVC (model-view-controller) architecture and aids user interaction with that model.
    - HTML support
      HCL DevOps Test UI (Test UI) supports testing HTML applications that are loaded in a browser.
    - Java support
      Test UI is bundled with Java 17, and by default, the Java environment is enabled for testing Java applications.
    - .NET support
      HCL DevOps Test UI (Test UI) supports recording and playing back user applications that are built with the Microsoft .NET Framework.
    - Windows support
      HCL DevOps Test UI (Test UI) supports testing of Windows applications with Win32 controls.
    - Nested domains support
      HCL DevOps Test UI (Test UI) recognizes two different kinds of nesting of objects, a parent-child nesting and an owner-owned nesting. A parent-child nesting occurs when one object is contained within another, such as a button on a form. An owner-owned nesting occurs when the owned object has its own top-level window, such as a that is owned by a top-level window.
    - PowerBuilder support
      HCL DevOps Test UI (Test UI) supports the testing of Win32 targets and .NET targets that are created by using Sybase PowerBuilder versions 10.5, 11.0, 11.2, 11.5, 12.0, 12.5, 12.6, and Appeon PowerBuilder 2017.
    - SAP support
      HCL DevOps Test UI (Test UI) supports extended functional testing of SAP GUI for Windows and SAP GUI for HTML.
    - Visual Basic support
      HCL DevOps Test UI (Test UI) supports testing Visual Basic 5.0 and 6.0 applications.
    - Terminal-based applications support
      HCL DevOps Test UI (Test UI) Extension for Terminal-based Applications supports functional testing of Mainframe or zSeries (TN3270, TN3270E), AS/400 or iSeries (TN5250) and pSeries or Virtual Terminals (VT default, VT100, VT101, VT102, VT220-7, VT220-8, VT320, VT420-7, VT420-8, VT52, VT UTF-8).

Eclipse support

HCL DevOps Test UI (Test UI) supports testing of Eclipse-based applications.

You must enable the Eclipse platform for testing before recording scripts to test Eclipse-based applications.

You can test Eclipse 64-bit Standard Widget Toolkit (SWT) and Rich Client Platform (RCP) applications using Test UI.

Test UI also supports testing of stand-alone SWT applications. To do this, you must enable the JRE in which the SWT application runs, and also enable the SWT application. For information about enabling SWT applications, see Enabling stand-alone Standard Widget Toolkit applications.
