I have an existing software system in pure Java (1.8, currently 32 bit), using Eclipse's EMF Client Platform. Some modules are opened in normal web browsers like IE, Chrome etc. while others are loaded into an Eclipse client as Eclipse plugins. We're using Eclipse Mars.
We're looking to automate our testing with HP's UFT, so we're trying it out for the first time with a freshly downloaded trial version. We easily figured out how to use UFT with modules that are opened in a web browser from a tutorial I found online.
However, we're unable to say the same for the part of the system opened in the Eclipse client. My PM did a little preliminary research and some say there are compatibility issues. Right now I'm investigating this in-depth with the objective to get it working if possible. I Google'd with the terms UFT, Eclipse plugin, and/or EMF Client Platform without useful result.
As someone using this tool for the first time, I'm looking for help from those with experience in the community. Do you know any tutorial, documentation, any material that can assist me, whether to solve the problem outright or at least to help me understand the relevant parts of the UFT tool?
I understand LeanFT is installed with UFT, so I am open to using it as an alternative. Thanks!

I am trying to build a simple app using tidesdk , but unfortunately as stated here :
https://stackoverflow.com/a/14207566/1724929
that currently there is no way to protect the source code which is visible to the app users.
but after taking a look at wunderlist for Windows which is built using tidesdk and .net framework , i saw that the source code is not visible also i searched if it were hidden somewhere but i found nothing , so any one have an idea how they protect the source code from being visible . is there any tool or something to achive that ?
Latest version of Wunderlist is not built using TideSDK. They have re-implemented all different versions pure natively on each platform they are supporting.
TideSDK currently does not support Code hiding however the Developers of TideSDK are developing TideKit which is releasing soon with a new CLI, app and will provide platform builds. It will also provide Code Hiding. You can follow recent developments at http://www.tidekit.com. The video of what is coming is here: http://youtu.be/aE7gN-d0GhU. This will give you modern tools to use where the experience of creating and your projects is much better.
I was surfing through various article related to Webservice in Qt , but unfortunatly didn't got what i was looking for. I am using .Net webservice with SOAP, and want to parse this service. Gone through various related article, but the basic problem that i am facing is to get the Soap libraries? Where to download from? And how to integrate? And this will really work for me?
Thank You.
Your best bet is probably integrating gSOAP into your Qt application. (Make sure it's Licensing terms are ok for you.)
A good run-down of how to do the integration is GSoap: SAOP and XML Web services for Qt apps (includes a sample .zip file). That doesn't require a specific version of Qt (since gSOAP is doing all the work essentially), so anything modern-ish should do.
Although it's a very late suggestion, Apache Axis is a free/open source software SOAP stack that appears to fit your needs.
Just a simple question:
Would you prefer IntelliJ? If so, what are the Pro- and Cons?
Thx
I'd prefer IntelliJ for any Java project. I'll also point out that ReSharper is a Visual Studio plug-in that provides a lot of the same niceties for .NET. It's also written by JetBrains.
Pros:
Smartest IDE I know. Everything works together. It's not a Frankenstein monster stitched together from disparate plug-ins that don't know about each other.
Best Spring support.
Keeps getting better with every release.
Great integration with SVN, databases, Java EE app servers.
Local and remote debugging with Java EE app servers.
Cons:
Not free. If that puts you off, IntelliJ isn't for you.
Swing UI support isn't the best, but I'm not much of a Swing/desktop developer.
Not Eclipse. If you're a dyed in the wool Eclipse lover you may not like IntelliJ.
I used Eclipse for many years. I liked it and felt grateful to have something so good when my employer wouldn't lay out any money for tools.
Then I changed jobs and was given IntelliJ. I've never gone back. I buy a personal license every year with my own money so I can use it at home and at work. It's an essential tool for me.
In the software projects that I participate developers use either Eclipse or IntelliJ, simply because they are used to either one of them. No one of my collegues switched the IDE yet, so there does not seem to be a "killer application/feature".
I heard that NetBeans is better than Eclipse, especially NetBeans is supposed to be more stable with regard to plugins - this is the only aspect of Eclipse that really troubles me: You either do not find a plugin that you need (I'm still looking for a Maven plugin that actually works) or installing one plugin breaks another.
I work in Visual Studio working on sites mostly myself and occasionally I start on new features for a site and bam a bug pops up on the live site and now I am in the middle of changes and can't post a fix to the bug until everything I started to change is complete.
So I am looking for a nice an simple way to work with this type of situation - any suggestions?
Are you asking for a recommendation of a source control system? SourceGear Vault is free for single users.
I am big fan of subversion. There also plugins for VS to work with subversion repository.
http://subversion.tigris.org/
http://ankhsvn.open.collab.net/
I am in a similar situation and I use Perforce. It is free for up to two users and integrates well with Visual Studio.
Subversion is well supported and has tools for most any environment. It's also mostly straightforward to use, so you should be able to get up and running quickly.
If you need to work on a lot of separate features and bugs at the same time, you might try Mercurial instead. The tooling support is a lot less mature but I find the distributed design to do a better job of merging and facilitating work on separate issues concurrently.
But really, if you aren't using anything currently and aren't sure what your needs are, just choose one that has support in the IDE/tools you use. It will probably be Subversion.
What tools, preferably open source, are recommended for driving an automated test suite on a FLEX based web application? The same tool also having built in capabilities to drive Web Services would be nice.
Adobe distributes a test framework themselves: FlexUnit.
I heard of people using selenium as a free/open source testing tool. A quick google revealed a FLEX API for it. Not sure if it works or is still in development, but it may be worth a look.
http://sourceforge.net/projects/seleniumflexapi/
Are you looking to script code-level unit tests? If so, dpuint is the bomb: http://code.google.com/p/dpuint/ . This library makes it really easy to do automated testing on all sorts of asynchronous events, on either non-visual ActionScript objects or visual components. They also have a nice multi-page tutorial on the Google Code project page.
If you are looking for functional testing tools along the lines of automated record-and-playback simulating an end user using a Flex app, HP's QuickTest Pro is the Adobe-endorsed solution. It works great, but costs about $4,000 - $6,000 per seat.
Check out FlexMonkey. It does automated testing via FlexUnit tests.
Try looking at Melomel. It has Cucumber support baked right in and comes packaged with steps for most Halo and Spark components.

There's an automated test tool called RIATest that might fit the bill for you.
Unfortunately only for Windows, and not open source, but if it does the job it might be well worth the price ($399 at time of writing).
FunFX is an option for automating UI testing. I haven't used it extensively, but I've heard of some having success with it. Here is the article where I first learned about it.
I've been extensively using FunFX for several months now on a Flex 3 + Rails project. Not only is it open source, it's also written in Ruby, so integration with web services should be fairly easy. There are a few screencasts out there covering the basics.
The Flex code that your Flex app needs is contained in the SeleniumFlexAPI distribution .swc file, SeleniumFlexAPI.swc. Just include this file as a library when you compile your Flex app.
Sikuli is good tool which can be used to test flex/flash based web applications.
-It can automate anything on graphical user interface.
-It works on Windows, MAC OSX and Linux as well as iPhone and Android.
-Here is the Sikuli link
My preferred tool is Selenium Remote Control. There is a plug-in I discovered a few months ago:
http://code.google.com/p/flash-selenium/
This required 'hooks' to be written on the server side (ActionScript/Flex). Once they were added, I was able to do some browser testing using Selenium RC.
FunFX is great. We've used it extensively and have been very happy with it. The community is also active and very responsive, so that is a big plus for me.
The new version of the Selenium-Flex API (0.2.5) works great.
