Using ClearCase allows you to share projects, scripts, script templates, test datapools, and object maps across the testing team. You can manage changes in test assets stored in the Functional Tester project and in software system development from requirements to release.
Functional Tester works with ClearCase. ClearCase must be purchased separately. You must install ClearCase to use the Functional Tester ClearCase integration.
If you are using a version of ClearCase earlier than this version, you must update the ClearCase type managers to recognize Functional Tester test object map files on Windows® systems.
Functional Tester works in a ClearCase view enabled for Unified Change Management (UCM) if the view was created as part of a single-stream UCM project. Functional Tester does not work in views that are part of multistream UCM projects.
Here is a scenario of how to use Functional Tester and ClearCase to manage test assets:
Functional Tester, Java™ Scripting, compiles the project when
an element changes. If you are using a dynamic view, automatic compilation
can be time consuming, depending on the size of the project. To disable this
feature, click Perform build automatically on resource
modification check box. Functional Tester, VB.NET Scripting, does
not automatically compile the project when an element changes.
