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 Web UI Tester 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.
  • The following actions are not supported in both Web UI recording and playback:
    • Shortcut keyboard keys
    • Scroll bar action in the web browser
    • Context menu action
    • Native browser dialog boxes

  • The following actions are not supported in Web UI recording, but you can add them manually in the test editor for a successful playback:

    • Back and Forward browser navigation action
    • Mouse hover action
  • Playback is not supported on a browser window that is launched with the showModalDialog API.
  • Sometimes the playback of a multiwindow test fails to execute on Internet Explorer. This limitation is observed primarily after you switch from the second window to the first and click a link in the first window.
  • Sometimes the playback on Internet Explorer shows an Internal Error. The Problem Determination log in Eclipse has references to "Unable to get browser."
  • Sometimes the application under test becomes unresponsive during record/playback time. This happens primarily if the application refreshes regularly using Ajax requests.
  • The Web UI extension is not supported on a Turkish Macintosh computer.
  • In the Apple Safari browser version earlier than 10, recording and playback for multiple windows is not supported.
  • Using multiple monitors with workbench running on one monitor and browser on another for an extended view is not supported.
  • Due to a limitation in the Selenium web driver, the Web UI extension does not support JavaScript alerts in the Apple Safari web browser.
  • When the Chrome browser starts to record a test, the browser prompts a dialog box to disable the Developer mode extensions. You must click 'Cancel' to proceed with the recording.
  • When Google Chrome is not installed by the user with administrator privileges at the default location, recording and playback of the Web UI tests fail.
  • If you ran the test scripts in Internet Explorer, Edge or Safari, the statistical reports will show a zero value for the On App time and Net Server Time. This is because these browsers are yet to support the On App time and Net Server Time. The time values are shown correctly in Firefox and Chrome browsers.
  • Limitations when running Web UI tests on a version prior to Microsoft Edge 14.14393 and Microsoft WebDriver 3.14393:
    • You can play back Web UI tests on Edge browser, but recording is not supported.
    • Edge browser cannot work with Alert popups. Alert, confirm, and prompt HTML dialogs are not supported.
    • Multi-windows playback is not supported on Edge browser.
    • Limitation as regards playback performance of Web UI actions on Edge browser.
    • Actions on JavaScript dialogs (alert, confirm, prompt) are not supported.
  • If you are using Microsoft Edge 14.14393 and Microsoft WebDriver 3.14393, you can play back Web UI tests, but recording is not supported.
  • The Web Analytics reports do not open on Ubuntu 16.04. To resolve this issue, install libwebkitgtk 1.0.0 and then run a test. To install libwebkitgtk 1.0.0, run the following command in the terminal: sudo apt install libwebkitgtk-1.0.0

To save time, know the answers to these questions:
<ul>
<li>What software versions were you running when the problem occurred?
<li>Do you have logs, traces, or messages that are related to the problem?
<li>Can you reproduce the problem? If so, what steps do you take to reproduce it?
<li>Is there a workaround for the problem? If so, be prepared to describe the workaround.
