Definitions

Regression: An error in the Maintenance Delivery Vehicle (MDV) that produces incorrect or unexpected behavior causing a supported feature to stop functioning as designed.
This includes:

  • Coding errors that cause a regression
  • Documentation or packaging problems that cause a regression
  • Errors reported in a new function delivered in a MDV that cause a regression

Incomplete: An error in the MDV has not regressed, but does not work as designed.
This includes:

  • Fixed APARs which did not solve the original problem but did not break anything new
  • APARs reporting documentation errors, such as readme errors, that cause problems applying an MDV but do not lead to a regression

Notes:
  • Regression and incomplete APARs are considered fix-in-error or MDV-in-error
  • Definitions above apply only to valid APARs that result in product fixes (APARs returned as working-as-designed are not assessed for being fix-in-error)
  • Issues in major releases due to new functionality do not apply in this definition

There are no known regressions to report.

Known Limitations

Core

If you install Rational Test Workbench Mobile Test Edition on Macintosh OS, the IBM Rational Quality Manager and IBM Rational Team Concert Jazz clients are not available with the installer. To use the Jazz clients on Macintosh, you must download the P2 update site compressed files from www.jazz.net and install them using the native Eclipse client.

Ability to initiate Rational Test Workbench tests from IBM UrbanCode Deploy is supported only for Microsoft Windows and Linux computers. The feature is not supported on Macintosh computers.

Limitations in Mobile extension

Limitations with iOS 8 support:

iOS 8 support on physical devices is currently limited to manual tests of a single app. This iOS limitation exists on iOS 8, iOS 8.0.1, and iOS 8.0.2. You can implement test automation scenarios using the native client running in an iOS Simulator or upgrade the device to iOS 8.1.1 or later. Full support for automated testing on iOS 8 devices is dependent on Apple's response to a defect filed against iOS 8.

Windows users must use the command line or iTunes to install instrumented apps on iOS 8 or later devices. Installing instrumented apps using the test workbench UI on a Windows computer is not currently supported on iOS 8 or later devices.

Web app testing on iOS 8 devices and simulators require at least the 8.6.1 version of the IBM Rational Mobile Web Recorder.

iOS 8 support requires the most recent version of iTunes.

When you use the Rational Test Workbench Mobile Test Client on iOS simulators, the mobile test client do not display the iOS version. Instead, it displays the version number of Macintosh operating system.

Issues when scrolling up and down, right and left during playback if there are more than four reports in the chart review.

Other limitation:

When you use Mobile Performance (mPerf) on Android 6.0.1, resource monitoring does not work.
