This section describes how you can manage your test assets with
functional test projects.
Functional Test projects A
Functional Test project stores application test assets such as scripts, object
maps, verification point baseline files, and script templates. You must create
a Functional Test project before you can record scripts.
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.
Deleting a Functional Test project
There may be times that you want
to delete a project that is no longer needed from the Functional Test Projects
view. If you use ClearCase® for source control, you can delete a
project only from your view, or from your view and from the ClearCase VOB.
Connecting to a Functional Test project
If you have an existing Functional
Test project or another member of your team has a project you need to use,
you can connect to it and use it.
Disconnecting a Functional Test project
If you no longer need to work on
a Functional Test project, you can remove it from the Functional Tester Projects
view.
Functional Test projects and Rational projects
When you create a Functional Test
project, you can use the project stand-alone, or associate it with a Rational® project
to take advantage of the Functional Tester integration features with TestManager
if you have TestManager installed.
Creating a Rational project
When you create a Functional Tester
project, you can use the project stand-alone, or associate it with a Rational project
to take advantage of the Functional Tester integration features with TestManager.
If you want to associate a Functional Tester project with a Rational project,
you must create a Rational project to store your test assets.
Viewing TestManager properties of a project
If you associate a Functional Tester
project with the current Rational project, information about the Rational project
and TestManager script source name and data path appear on the TestManager
Property Page.
Functional Test Projects view
The Functional Test Projects view, which is the left pane of the
Functional Test Perspective, lists test assets for each project.
Exporting functional test project items
You can export project items such
as scripts, test object maps, Java™ files or Visual Basic files, and datapools
to another Functional Tester project.
Importing functional test project items
You can import project items such
as scripts, test object maps, Java files or Visual Basic files, and datapools
into a Functional Tester project.
