How to automate Chrome extension using UFT
The new UFT 12.01 supports up to Chrome 36 when it comes to web content.
How about Chrome extensions?
I read somewhere that they cannot be automated.
On the other hand, when I use developer tools (12), I can identify buttons, text boxes, etc.
Is it possible to test a Chrome extension using UFT?
PS: I am specifically trying to automate one extension called POSTMAN - Rest Client ( https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/postman-rest-client/fdmmgilgnpjigdojojpjoooidkmcomcm?hl=en )

UFT Chrome support does not work with other extensions because Chrome prohibits adding extensions to other extensions .
As a workaround, you can use the UFT Insight option to automate any technology that UFT does not directly support.
Specifically for the Postman extension, it is a simple REST client. Let's say you want to use it to test your REST services, not test the Postman extension. If so, wouldn't there be a more natural way to approach this problem to use a UFT API test?
API tests support calling and testing REST services with all the functionality previously available in HP Service Test.
