Overview
Rational Functional Tester Extension for Terminal-based Applications (FTE) is used to automate the testing of MVS, VM,
OS/400 and Unix host applications. This tool mentor assumes you have installed the Rational Functional Tester
Extension and have some familiarity with Rational Functional Tester (RFT).
When you use RFT and FTE to record a test script, you may want to edit the resulting script. This tool mentor describes
some thnigs about editing test scripts.
After you finish recording a script with RFT and FTE, RFT returns you to the Functional Tester project under which you
recorded the script, with the script open in an edit session. You can run the script by pressing the "Run
Fuctional Test Script" button, or you can edit the script.
You might want to edit the script to add comments to document the test scenario, add sleep() statements for
timing purposes, or to change some input text such as the host system password. You might also want to do some
maintenance of the script, such as removing certain object attributes that might vary from run to run and do not
capture significant test information, such as removing "ANY,UNINITIALIZED" from the tFrame object.
The scripts will be in either Java (in the Eclipse environment) or Visual Basic (in the VS.NET environment). When you
edit the scripts, follow the rules of the source language in which it is written.
