Automated testing overview

You can use IBM® Rational® Quality Manager to manage and run automated test scripts that were created with other test tools.

With Rational Quality Manager, you can create test scripts that refer to tests that were created with other test tools, such as IBM Rational Functional Tester, IBM Rational Performance Tester, IBM Rational Service Tester for SOA Quality, IBM Rational Robot, and IBM Rational AppScan Tester Edition.

You can also import your automated tests in bulk.

The test scripts that you create are references to the tests that were created in the other testing tools. When you run an automated test, Rational Quality Manager sends commands to the machines in your test lab, running the original test and displaying the results in your browser.

You can save automated tests on test machines in your test lab or in shared network locations. When you create a reference to an automated test, you must specify the locations of the test resources. Before you can use test resources from a shared location, an Administrator must make the resources available to Rational Quality Manager.

Note: Each test tool implements its own integration with Rational Quality Manager. The instructions here do not cover all details of each integration. Therefore, be sure to refer to the specific test tool for further details.
