Running Functional tests for HTML applications by using the Web UI extension

When you want to run Functional tests for HTML applications in browsers without enabling the browsers and Java environments, you can do so by using the Web UI extension.

The additional steps that are required for preparing the browsers are eliminated when you run Functional tests by using the Web UI extension. To run Functional tests for the HTML applications in the browsers, you must first enable the Web UI extension for the Functional test from the Preferences menu.
  1. Enable the Web UI extension from the Functional Test perspective by performing the following steps:
    1. Go to Windows > Preferences > Functional Test > Playback menu.

      The Playback settings page is displayed.

    2. Select the following checkboxes:
      • Play back with Web UI Extension
      • Play back with Web UI action
    3. Click Apply.
  2. Run the Functional test.
    Note: When you run the Functional test for any HTML application in the Edge or Google Chrome browser by using the Web UI extension, if there is a browser and driver incompatibility, Rational® Functional Tester automatically downloads the appropriate driver to play back tests successfully.
