The Web UI extension of IBM Rational Test Workbench only supports Microsoft Internet Explorer 9 and above. You cannot record or playback the Web UI test scripts if the documents are loaded in modes other than the Internet Explorer 9 Standard mode. This is because the web sites that do not use <!DOCTYPE html> at the beginning of the page source render the page in Internet Explorer 9 Quirk Mode or in an older version of Internet Explorer by default; this limitation causes the Javascript APIs used in the Web UI extension to not work as expected. Hence, ensure that you always load the documents in Microsoft Internet Explorer 9 Standard mode.
The message originates from the Selenium API that the Web UI extension uses to open the Firefox browser. The Web UI application does not have any control over the display of the message, but it is not in any way impact the script playback. You can ignore the message.
In Internet Explorer, open and disable protected mode for all zones.
The delay occurs because Rational Test Workbench must first invoke Selenium to start the Firefox browser.
Recording and playback of a Web UI test depends on the properties of each control on a Web page. For example, in one browser a search button might be implemented as a text box, whereas in another browser the search button might be implemented as a jQuery control. To play back a recorded script in a different browser, you might need to edit the control recognition properties in the recorded script or insert a suitable action.
This is a limitation that the Web UI extension inherits from Selenium in case of non-admin accounts. When you are logged in as a non-administrator on a Windows computer, ensure that the Internet Explorer runs in unprotected mode. In Internet Explorer, open . Select Internet zone and clear the check box Enable Protected Mode.
