Kindly let us know the benefits of Extent reports over UFT reporting system.

Dear Team,

I am writing this here because, I haven't received any response from Extent reports team despite emailing them for direct contact. Actually I am in talks with my higher officials in proposing the extent reports at my workplace, Can you provide us some details on how it is going to be beneficial over HP UFT reporting system? because, I need to convince them to bring this at my workplace. Expecting your valuable inputs at least here.

Thank you, Sudheendran P L

I don't see any benefits in using Extent report over the UFT reporting. Because UFT is commercial tool and gives everything as a package and may have hurdles to integrate extent. So I recommend to live with UFT reporting. Extent is mainly used by open source test automation tools.

So my personal recommendation is not try to integrate the extent with UFT.

Thanks Vimalraj

Hi Vimalraj,

Thanks for your suggestion, actually we have have a framework in place where testers can either use selenium or UFT whichever is preferable based on their AUT. But we also want the report structure to be common irrespective of the tools we use. I know that extent reports are very popular for open source tools like selenium and when I was checking that if the same report can be integrated with UFT, I got to know that it is possible from the below link.

I also configured and generated the extent report by following the steps mentioned in the above link. So was curious to know the benefits and buy the pro version .

Thank you, Sudheendran P L

Code for plugin mentioned by @ThinkPowerful is available below on the GitHub

https://github.com/sumeet-kushwah/UFT_ExtentReports

If you are planning to buy the pro version then you will need to modify the code and compile it again.

UFT uses VBScript, correct? It would be a huge undertaking which I would recommend against. Catching exceptions using hooks is also not supported in UFT as far as I know so this would require a lot of effort to setup..
