With IBM® Rational® Quality Manager,
you can create a reference to an automated test script on a test machine
in your test lab.
Before you begin
Before you can
create a reference to an automated test
script on a local lab machine, the appropriate adapter must be running.
See the section on "Integrating with Rational test tools" for information on
starting the adapters.
Note: Each test tool implements its own
integration with Rational Quality Manager.
The instructions provided here might not cover all details of each
integration. Be sure to refer to the specific test tool for further
details.
About this task
To create a reference to an automated
test script on a local
lab machine:
Procedure
- Point to the Construction icon
(
), and click Create
Test Script.
- Type a name for the
new test script.
Tip: Be sure to use a name
that is the same or similar to the
name of the actual test script.
- Click <Click
here to enter a description> to
enter a description of the new test script reference.
- Select one of the following test script types:
- For Rational Performance Tester,
select Performance Test.
- For IBM Rational Service Tester for SOA Quality,
select Service Test.
- For Rational Test RealTime, select Rational
Test RealTime.
- For Rational Functional Tester,
select Functional Tester.
- For Rational Robot, select Robot.
- In the window that opens, click Use
test resources
that are local to a test machine.
- Click the Select Adapter button.
The following window opens.
- Provide the
project path on the test machine to where the
test script is located, for example, c:\workspaces\rft1\Altoro1.
Note: For some tools, such as Rational Functional Tester,
providing the project path means the full file system path. For Rational Performance Tester and Rational Service Tester for
SOA Quality,
this path includes the project name that is in the workspace that
is associated with the adapter.
- Select
the appropriate adapter from the list of adapters.
Note: The
green icon under the State column indicates that the
adapter is running.
- Click Next.
The following
window opens, showing the scripts that are available in the specified
project:
- Select the script to refer to by selecting the check
box,
and then click Finish.
- For
functional testing scripts, supply the appropriate Script
arguments.
- Click Script
arguments.
- For Script
Arguments, type the
arguments to pass to the functional test script during execution.
- For Execution Arguments,
type
the arguments to go in the execution command line of the script, such
as - classpath.
- If
the script is associated with a datapool, in Datapool
Iteration Count, type the number of iterations for the
script to run.
- Click Save.
- To confirm that your test script is
created, point to the Construction icon
(
), and click All
Test Scripts.
- Verify
that the list includes your script.
