Sponsored by the Core Prime Brokerage Quality Assurance team within the Investment Bank division of Barclays PLC, this MQP report centered on web applications. The goal was to first identify free, open-source tools that would replace Hewlett-Packard’s Unified Functional Testing (UFT) solution, while preserving the existing core functions written in VBScript. After performing thorough exploratory analysis and research, the team identified Selenium WebDriver as the best tool for Barclays’ GUI automation testing purposes. Our recommendations not only aim to help eliminate the UFT license contention and execution issues, but also aim to save the annual licensing cost spent by the Barclays Core PB team and reduce the time spent troubleshooting any GUI automation testing issues.
