When recording tests on your application, it is best to have IBM® DevOps Test UI (Test UI) start the application during
recording. This makes playing back the tests more reliable because the application configuration
information is used. Test UI can open
specified Java applications, HTML pages in your browser, or run executable
applications.
- During recording, click Start Application on
the Recording toolbar.
The Start Application dialog
opens.
- Click the arrow in the Application Name field
to see the list of applications that you can test.
- Java™: Application name -
java
- HTML: Application name - html
- Executable or batch files Application name -
executable
- Select the application to open, and click OK.
The dialog closes and your application opens.Test UI inserts a test line to start the application.
Note:
You can configure your own applications so that the Application
Name list includes the applications and you can start
them using this dialog. You add your applications by clicking
the Edit button. For information on editing
or adding application information see Configuring Applications
for Testing related topic.
Test UI comes with several sample applications that the Application Name list
includes. For example, "ClassicsJavaA - java" is used in the Test UI tutorial.
