Getting Started with functional testing
This section helps you get started with functional testing
using Rational® Functional Tester.
- Rational Functional Tester overview
Rational Functional Tester is an object-oriented automated functional testing tool that tests HTML, including HTML 5, Java, Windows, .NET, Visual Basic, SAP, Silverlight, Eclipse, Siebel, Flex, Ajax, Dojo, GEF and PowerBuilder applications. With its ability to test HTML 5-based applications and UI frameworks, Rational Functional Tester 9.2 and newer also tests the user interface of Web applications on the desktop and on mobile devices. - Importing a sample functional test project
One way to get started quickly with Rational Functional Tester is to import the sample functional test project that is provided with IBM® Rational Functional Tester. The sample project includes sample test scripts that you can use. When you import the sample project, it is copied to your Eclipse workspace. - Setting up Rational Functional Tester
The diagram in this topic shows the task flow for setting up IBM Rational Functional Tester. - Task flows for testing applications
The task flows are designed to help you understand the process of functional testing using Rational Functional Tester. For some of the technologies, there are specific task flows that you can follow to gain a clear understanding of the process. - Task flows for Web UI Test perspective
The task flows are designed to help you understand the process of Web UI testing using Rational Functional Tester. - Task flows for accelerated functional testing
The task flows are designed to help you understand the process of accelerating functional testing using Rational Functional Tester. - Task flow: Integrating with Rational Integration Tester
- Using the Functional Test perspective of Rational Functional Tester on Linux
For the Functional Test perspective, most features are supported on Linux, except for recording the scripts. This topic provides an overview about how Rational Functional Tester behaves on Linux. - The Functional Test perspective
The Functional Test perspective has components that are displayed automatically when you start Rational Functional Tester: the product menu, toolbar, Projects view, Script (simplified) editor, Java™ editor, Script Explorer, Console view, Tasks view, Application view, Keyword view, Properties view, and the status bar. - The Web UI Test perspective
With the Web UI Test perspective, you can quickly create and run functional tests for the web applications. It gives you a recording and natural language scripting environment to test browser applications that use HTML5 and JQuery. You can test on Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome, and Safari browsers. - Rational Functional Tester overview
