Functional Tester is integrated with the most recent versions of TestManager and ClearQuest® Test Manager.
TestManager integration features include the TestManager Log, running Windows® and Linux® remote playback agents, and test management features such as running scripts as part of a test suite. Functional Tester has its own logs and does not depend on the TestManager log integration.
With ClearQuest Test Manager integration, you can associate functional test scripts to Test Cases and Configured Test Cases, and execute them. Using ClearQuest Test Manager, you can analyze the received execution results (logs), and record those results for reporting and analysis.
Functional Tester can optionally make use of Rational projects and the Rational Test project, if you have Rational Administrator and TestManager installed. A Rational Test project is used to store test assets such as test plans, test cases, test logs, reports, and builds. Use of the Rational Test projects is optional. Regardless of whether you use a Rational Test project, Functional Tester uses a Functional Tester project, which is created from within Functional Tester.
If you use the Rational Test Agents, that is a separate install, and also requires an upgrade pack. Note that you need to have a separate license for each product.
Functional Tester is also integrated with ClearCase®, and ClearCase MultiSite®. You need to have one of these ClearCase products installed for this integration to work.
Functional Tester can be integrated with Rational Quality Manager using an adapter. The functional test adapter is installed by default when you install Rational Functional Tester. You can manage and execute functional test scripts and view test logs from Rational Quality Manager.
