Implementing Custom Recording and Script Generation


If you install a Custom Recorder Adapter named newCustomRecorder.dll and a corresponding Custom Script Generator Adapter named newCustomScriptGenerator.dll, the Method tab of the Session Record Options dialog box displays your adapters (under their display names) to the Robot user. If the user selects the pair and initiates a custom recording session, newCustomRecorder.dll starts. Its session file, which can have any desired format, is available as input to newCustomScriptGenerator.dll.

The custom method is thus unrestricted: the two installed adapters can interact with one another, and possibly with other provided ancillary programs, in any way that you devise.

The Rational Test\\rtsdk\c\rsrext\samples\CustomAdapters folder contains skeletal adapters that can be used as starting points for developing full versions.
