Updated 06 Dec 2007 Regression testing -- in which code is thoroughly tested to ensure that
changes have not produced unexpected results -- is an important part of any
development process. But many testing environments neglect the terminal-based
applications that still form the backbone of many industries. In this tutorial,
you'll learn how the Rational® Functional Tester Extension for Terminal-Based
Applications works with other Rational Functional Tester to help test terminal-based
applications quickly and easily.
Objectives - Learn how to record a Functional Tester regression test against a sample terminal-based application
- Learn how Functional Tester captures your interactions with the application into a Java script
- Learn how ScriptAssure Technology makes your tests robust against user interface (UI) changes in the application under test
- Learn how to verify both static and dynamic content in your application
Prerequisites
None
System requirements
To complete the steps in this tutorial, install the following software:
- If you don't already own the Rational Functional Tester Extension for
Terminal-Based Applications, you can download a
fully functional trial version of Rational Functional Tester.
The installation process is described in the tutorial.
- Functional Tester supports two scripting languages: the Java™
language and Visual Basic .NET. For crafting tests using the Java language,
Functional Tester includes the Eclipse open source development environment. No
further installation steps are required. If you want to use the Visual Basic
.NET scripting language, Visual Studio .NET must be installed on your system
before you install IBM Rational Functional Tester. Visual Studio .NET is
available for purchase from Microsoft®.
