Working with functional test scripts
(Windows-only)
This section
describes the process of creating functional test scripts to test
your applications.
Using script services
The Script Support Functions dialog box contains tabs that
enable you to insert code into the current Functional Tester script
to perform a variety of tasks, such as inserting a callScript command,
a log message. a timer, a sleep command, or a comment into a Functional
Tester script.
Starting your test applications
When recording tests on your
application, it is best to have IBM IBM Rational Functional Tester start the application
during recording. This makes playing back the tests more reliable
because the application configuration information is used. IBM Rational Functional Tester can open specified Java
applications, HTML pages in your browser, or run executable applications.
Renaming a test asset
You can rename simplified test scripts, Java test scripts,
test object maps, or other files in a project.
Saving test scripts and files
You can save a functional test script or file in several ways:
save the current test script or file, save all test scripts and files, save
a functional test script or file with another name in a different location.
Deleting a functional test script
You can delete a functional
test script from the Projects view or the Solution Explorer. Use caution,
however; deleting a script that is not under ClearCase® source
control or a script in a ClearCase dynamic view cannot
be undone.
Recording a script
To start recording scripts against
your applications, you must first configure your test environments, configure
your applications, and create a project.
