When recording tests on your
application, it is best to have IBM IBM Rational Functional Tester start the application
during recording. This makes playing back the tests more reliable
because the application configuration information is used. IBM Rational Functional Tester can open specified Java
applications, HTML pages in your browser, or run executable applications.
Procedure
- During recording, click Start Application on
the Recording toolbar. The Start Application dialog box
opens.
- Click the arrow in the Application Name field
to see the list of applications that you can test.
- Java™: Application name -
java
- HTML: Application name - html
- Executable or batch files Application name -
executable
- Select the application to open, and click OK. The dialog box closes and your application opens. Functional
Tester inserts a test line to start the application.
Note:
You can configure your own applications so that the Application
Name list includes the applications and you can start
them using this dialog box. You add your applications by clicking
the Edit button. For information on editing
or adding application information see Configuring Applications
for Testing related topic.
IBM Rational Functional Tester comes with several sample
applications that the Application Name list
includes. For example, "ClassicsJavaA - java" is used in the IBM Rational Functional Tester tutorial.
