Creating a functional test project

You must create a new project or connect to an existing project before you record a new script. You can run Functional Tester scripts and analyze test results using Functional Tester.
To create a Functional Test project:
  1. Take one of the following steps:
    • From the Functional Tester menu, click File > New > Functional Test Project.
    • From the Functional Tester toolbar, take the following steps:
    1. Click New.

      The New dialog box with the Select a Wizard page appears.

    2. Select Functional Test Project and click Next.
  2. In the Project name field, type the name of the new project.

    Project names cannot contain the following characters: \ / : * ? " < > | ( ) or a space.

  3. In the Project location field, type the data path for this project, or click Browse to select a path.

    If you use ClearCase®, you must create the Functional Tester project in a ClearCase snapshot or dynamic view. You can add the project to ClearCase later. If you do not create a project in a ClearCase view, you can share the project by moving it to a ClearCase view and adding it to source control.

  4. Select Add the project to Source Control to use ClearCase.
  5. Select the Associate the project with a Manual Test project check box and specify the Manual Test project name and the location. This option enables you to associate the functional test scripts with the keywords that are created in Rational Manual Test
  6. If TestManager is installed, select Associate the project with current Rational Project to run Functional Tester scripts from TestManager and use TestManager to analyze test results.
    Note: If the Associate the project with current Rational Project check box is unavailable, you must create a Rational project and log in to the project before you can associate a Functional Tester project with a Rational project. To use the TestManager features, Rational Administrator and TestManager must be installed. You must create a Rational project, and log into TestManager.
  7. Click Finish.
