Installing the Selenium adapter for Rational Quality Manager for use with IBM UrbanCode Deploy

You can use the Selenium adapter to run Selenium test cases with IBM® Rational® Quality Manager. To use Selenium test cases, you must install the Selenium adapter and connect it to Rational Quality Manager.

Before you begin

Make sure that Rational Quality Manager is installed and running.

Review the prerequisites for the Selenium adapter in the Rational Quality Manager information center. To learn more about the prerequisites and limitations, see About the JUnit Selenium adapter integration.

Additionally, review the steps to configure and run the Selenium adapters in the Rational Quality Manager information center, at Running JUnit Selenium adapter execution tests.

About this task

In these steps, you set up a server to run the adapter. This server can be on a cloud image or on another computer.

Procedure

  1. Download the Selenium adapter and drivers, and then configure the Selenium adapter. To learn how to download and configure the Selenium adapter and drivers, see Configuring JUnit Selenium adapters in the Rational Quality Manager information center.
  2. Copy the Selenium script JAR files for your tests to the server that hosts the adapter. You can place these files in any folder. The JAR files must be available before tests run.
  3. In the selenium.properties file that you edited in the first step, uncomment the line of code that contains the com.ibm.rqm.junit.classpath property.
  4. Add the location of the JAR files for your tests to the com.ibm.rqm.junit.classpath= line of code. You can specify a directory, as in the following example:
    com.ibm.rqm.junit.classpath=../scripts/ApplicationTests/bin
    You can also specify specific JAR files, as in the following example:
    com.ibm.rqm.junit.classpath=../scripts/ApplicationTests/SeleniumScripts.jar
    On Windows, separate each path with a semicolon (;). On Linux, separate each path with a colon (:). For more information, see the documentation that is included in the selenium.properties file.
  5. Save the selenium.properties file.
  6. Start the adapter. To learn how to start the Selenium adapter, see Starting JUnit Selenium adapters in the Rational Quality Manager information center.
  7. Verify that the adapter is running and connected to the server by opening the web client for the Rational Quality Manager server; then click the Execution tab and Adapter Console. The new adapter is shown in the list of adapters that are connected to the server.
