Rational Functional Tester support policy for dual screens

Question & Answer


Question

Can you use IBM Rational Functional Tester with two screens for recording and playback?

Cause

You have an application under test that uses two screens.

Problems that might occur are for example.

  1. On one screen you have Rational Functional Tester, on the other the application under test (AUT). When you record a Verification Point (VP), you can only get the parent window in the red rectangular. This means that RFT does not see the child objects. When you work in a single screen RFT does find the child objects.
  2. When you click on the second screen in a dual screen setup, Rational Functional Tester adds a certain number to the x coordinate. The consequence is a failing playback in a single screen setup.

When these problems or other problems occur, you need to record and playback on a single screen.
