You
need to do some preliminary set up before you run a Functional Tester script
from TestManager.
TestManager creates a temporary suite and runs the suite. TestManager removes
the suite after the run is completed. To generate test case results, run the
test case instead of the script. TestManager does not generate test case
coverage results (even if the script is associated with a test case).
To run a Functional Tester script from TestManager:
- Associate a Functional Tester project with a Rational® project.
- On a remote computer, you must install the Rational Test Agent software on your
Agent computer and start the agent. For information about installing and starting
a Rational Test
Agent, see the Rational Functional Tester Installation Guide.
- If you need an external library to run a script, for example a .jar or
.dll file, you must install the software on the system on which you plan to
run the script.
- To install a .dll, add the library to a directory that is in system search
paths.
- To install a .jar file, add it to the Functional Tester customization
directory. Functional Tester adds all .jar files in the customization directory
to the script classpath. The default location for the customization directory
is: C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\IBM\RFT\customization
