The Microsoft CI system Azure DevOps Server can trigger tests using UFT from the local file system, from ALM, or from the ALM Test Lab module.
Prerequisite:
1) A Machine with a UFT One Testing Automation Software Installed.
2) An Azure DevOps accounts.
Setup Self-hosted Windows Agent:
- Login to Azure DevOps Account and click the “User Settings” then Click “Personal access tokens”.
In the Create a new personal access token setting, click Show all scopes as shown in the screenshot below to show the settings that the self-hosted build agent requires. Create a new token with “Agent Pools” scope (check box Read & Manage checked)
Save the Token at Safe Place.

Click Organization Settings
Click “Agent Pools” -> Default
Click on New Agent and download the agent.
Copy the Agent to UFT One VM and keep it under download folder. Follow the steps to configure your VM as a Self-Hosted Agent.

- Download the following files from the ADM-TFS-Extension GitHub repository into the folder that you want to use for the UFT-Azure integration.
- UFT.zip
- Unzip UFT.zip into the agent folder
4. Set the Environment Variable UFT_LAUNCHER to point on the UFTWorking folder
Install UFT Azure DevOps extension on Server Machine (Master)
Go to Azure Devops Account -> “Browse marketplace”
Search for “UFT”
Click Install
After installation click “Proceed of organization”
Setup a VBS file to trigger the UFT tests
In the script root folder, create UFTExecutionEngine.vbs file and paste the following code.
Test-Path -C:\agent\_work\1\s
Create a Reports folder under script root folder – result path – C:\agent\_work\1\s\Reports
testPath = "C:\agent\_work\1\s"
Dim objFSO
Set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
DoesFolderExist = objFSO.FolderExists(testPath)
Set objFSO = Nothing
If DoesFolderExist Then
Dim qtApp
Dim qtTest
Dim qtResultsOpt
Set qtApp = CreateObject("QuickTest.Application")
qtApp.Launch
qtApp.Visible = False
qtApp.Open testPath, False
Set qtTest = qtApp.Test
Set qtResultsOpt = CreateObject("QuickTest.RunResultsOptions")
qtResultsOpt.ResultsLocation = "C:\agent\_work\1\s\Reports"
qtTest.Run qtResultsOpt,True
qtTest.Run
qtTest.Close
qtApp.Quit
Else
Wscript.Echo "Test is not found at"&testPath
End If
Push the above script to a version system supported by Azure Devops.
Create and Setup azure pipeline
Click “New Pipeline” and click “classic editor”. Select a Source
