TestManager and script execution
TestManager creates a temporary suite and runs the suite. TestManager removes the suite after the run is completed. To generate test case results, run the test case instead of the script. TestManager does not generate test case coverage results (even if the script is associated with a test case).
To run a Functional Test script from TestManager:
- Associate a Functional Test project with a Rational® project.
- On a remote computer, you must install the Rational Test Agent software on your Agent computer and start the agent. For information about installing and starting a Rational Test Agent, see the Rational Functional Tester Installation Guide.
- If you need an external library to run a script, for example a .jar or .dll file, you must install the software on the system on which you plan to run the script.
- To install a .dll, add the library to a directory that is in system search paths.
- To install a .jar file, add it to the Rational Functional Tester customization directory. Rational Functional Tester adds all .jar files in the customization directory to the script classpath. The default location for the customization directory is: C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\IBM\RFT\customization
