Re: Rational Testing Tool
IBM Rational Functional Tester is an automatic functional testing and degeneration testing tool. It provides automated testing capabilities for functional, regression, GUI, and data-driven testing. Rational Function Tester supports a range of applications like - web-based, .Net, Java, Siebel, SAP, terminal emulator-based applications, PowerBuilder, Ajax, Adobe Flex, Dojo Toolkit, GEF, Adobe PDF documents, zSeries, iSeries, and pSeries. • Storyboard testing: Simplifies test visualization and editing using natural language and rendered screenshots. • Automated testing: Enables testers to automate tests resilient to frequent application user interface changes with ScriptAssure technology. • Data-driven testing: Lets you perform the same series of test actions with a varying set of test data. • Test scripting: Combines a recorder of user actions with multiple customization options and intelligent script maintenance capabilities. • Integrations: Integrates with IBM Rational Team Concert and IBM Rational Quality Manager to provide access to work items and logical or compound SCM test asset support. Storyboard testing • Rational Functional Tester provides a visual, storyboard format for representing test actions. • Storyboard testing combines natural language test narrative with visual editing through application screenshots. • Novice and professional testers can communicate and understand test flow and edit test actions without reading or writing test script code. Automated testing • Rational Functional Tester introduces an advanced ScriptAssure technology to accommodate frequent client edge changes and to shun increases in repairs overhead. • ScriptAssure uses fuzzy matching algorithms to locate objects during test execution, even if the objects have changed since test creation. • One can develop automation scripts that are associated with keywords. • Keyword testing promotes script reprocess and enables manual testers to use automation within manual test cycles. Data-driven testing • Rational Functional Tester automatically detects data entered during test recording and prepares the test for data-driven testing. • Using a spreadsheet-like data editor, one can create customized data sets to be used by the test during playback. • Rational Functional Tester manages validation of dynamic data with multiple verification points and support for regular expression pattern matching. Test scripting • Rational Functional Tester gives a choice between either Java or Visual Basic .NET; testers using Java can work in the Eclipse Java editor, and those using Visual Basic .NET can work in Visual Studio .NET. • Rational Functional Tester offers scripting to create, edit, and execute tests on the Linux platform, including everything except a test recorder. • On the Windows platform, Rational Functional Tester provides all recording, editing, and execution capabilities. • Rational Functional Tester supports automated version control to maintain multiple test sets and to enable parallel development. Integrations • Rational Functional Tester provides IBM Jazz integration to support collaborative application lifecycle management. • Jazz Eclipse Client integration provides Rational Functional Tester access to work items within Rational Team Concert and Rational Quality Manager. • Enhanced SCM integration with Rational Team Concert supports the management and sharing of test assets. |
