Advanced, automated functional testing of Java, Web and VS.NET WinForm-based applications. IBM® Rational Functional Tester is an automated, functional and regression testing tool. It provides testers with automated capabilities for data-driven testing and a choice of scripting language and an industrial-strength editor for test authoring and customization.
Functional testing automation for quality driven software delivery. Rational Functional Tester is an automated functional testing and regression testing tool. Provides testers with automated testing capabilities for functional testing, regression testing, GUI testing and data-driven testing.
- Enables testers to automate tests resilient to frequent application user interface changes with ScriptAssure technology
- Validates dynamic data with multiple wizards, verification points and support for regular expression patterns
- Automated wizard for data-driven testing increases test coverage by reusing individual tests with multiple sets of test data
- Allows the use of keywords to power portions of manual tests with automated testing
- Offers testers a choice of scripting language for test authoring and customization: Java in Eclipse or Microsoft Visual Basic .NET in Visual Studio .NET -
- Supports custom controls through proxy SDK (Java/.Net)
- Includes out of the box support for Web-based, .Net, Java, terminal emulator based applications such as 3270 (zSeries) and 5250 (iSeries), PowerBuilder, AJAX, Adobe Flex, Dojo Toolkit, Siebel, and SAP applications
- Operating systems supported: Linux, Windows
Any organization that relies on its own application development to serve the needs of internal clients or customers recognizes that application quality is a prerequisite for success, not an option. A crucial ingredient for this success is an efficient, disciplined testing process to verify that applications have achieved a level of fitness that either meets or exceeds project expectations. Slipping schedules, frequently changing application user interfaces, and recurrent feature regression introduce variables that ad-hoc testing practices are unable to handle. IBM Rational Functional tester was built to address these issues.
IBM Rational Functional Tester is an advanced, automated functional and regression testing tool for testers and GUI developers who need superior control for testing Java, Microsoft Visual Studio .NET and Web-based applications.
How does it work?
Rational Functional Tester records user interactions with Java, Web, and Visual Studio .NET WinForm-based applications, creating a test script that - when executed - reproduces those actions. During recording, the user can insert verification points that extract specified data or properties from the application under test. During playback, these verification points are used to compare recorded information with live information to ensure consistency. Following any test recording activity, testers have the option of adding custom code to the test script to perform an unlimited array of tasks, including the data manipulation and environment configuration activities that are often necessary to ensure the test lab is properly constituted for the test run. Following test execution, Rational Functional Tester generates a report listing the results of the verification point comparisons. With Rational Functional Tester, teams are able to more reliably and efficiently expose problems in even the most complex applications, increasing the opportunity for defect capture and repair before product release.
IBM Rational Functional Tester Features:
| Feature | Benefit |
| Ensure playback resilient to application changes with ScriptAssure technology | Frequent changes to an application's user interface can hamper test script execution. IBM Rational Functional Tester introduces an advanced ScriptAssure technology to accommodate these changes and avoid increases in maintenance overhead. ScriptAssure uses fuzzy matching algorithms to locate objects during test execution, even if the objects have changed since test creation. |
| Validate dynamic data with dynamic data validation wizard | Validating dynamic data, such as time stamps or order confirmation numbers can be tedious time consuming task, involving complex manual coding. IBM Rational Functional Tester includes wizard driven support for regular expression dynamic data validation. Users can effortlessly validate dynamic data against template patterns without having to write complex code. |
| Increase script re-use with wizard for data driven test creation | Data driven tests are functional tests that perform the same series of test actions, but with varying data. IBM Rational Functional Tester can automatically detect data entered during test recording and prepare the test for data-driven testing. Using a spreadsheet-like data editor, you can then create customized data sets to be used by the test during playback. In this way, you can achieve test script re-use without time consuming manual coding. |
| Streamline automation with keyword testing | Rational Functional Tester provides ability to define and automate keywords which can be reused in both functional and manual tests. This promotes script reuse and enables manual testers to easily and selectively leverage the power of automation within manual test cycles. |
| Choice of test editing language - Java or Visual Basic .NET | Test script customization is mandatory in order to perform anything but the most basic tests. IBM Rational Functional Tester gives you a choice of powerful, mainstream scripting languages to make this possible. Choose between either Java or Visual Basic .NET - both options can be used with all the supported user interface technologies. By working with Functional Tester, testers quickly learn to work with basic language constructs and acquire programming skills that facilitate more productive communication with developers. |
| Proxy SDK | Allows testers to define support for custom controls. |
| Test script version control for parallel development | Typically, more than one version of an application is deployed within an organization, and testers must therefore maintain groups of tests for each version. Without the help of automated version control, this can be extremely difficult. IBM Rational Functional Tester is designed to support automated version control, which not only provides a mechanism to maintain multiple test sets, but also enables parallel development and supports geographically dispersed teams. |
| Native Java and Visual Basic .NET editor and debugger for advanced testers | Test script editing is important, but it can be difficult without a good editor and debugger. IBM Rational Functional Tester delivers industrial-strength options to address this concern. Testers using Java can work in the Eclipse Java editor and those using Visual Basic .NET can work in Visual Studio .NET. Both integrated development environments offer a host of options to simplify test enhancement, including a helpful code-complete feature that suggests code to accelerate editing. GUI developers will find this feature particularly useful, as they can access it within the IDE they use to build the user interface. |
| Linux test editing and test execution support | For cross-platform Java applications, IBM Rational Functional Tester offers scripting to create, edit, and execute tests on the Linux platform - including everything except a test recorder. It also supports the Windows platform for all recording, editing, and execution capabilities. |
| Includes support for testing 3270/5250 terminal-based applications | Rational Functional Tester includes support for automation and testing of 3270 and 5250 terminal-based applications. This supports provides users with the ability to automate applications accessed via terminal emulator. |
| Includes support for Siebel and SAP applications | IBM Rational Functional Tester includes support for automation and testing of Seibel and SAP applications. This support provides users with the ability to recognize and work with all controls in these ERP environments. |
| Includes support for Adobe Flex applications | IBM Rational Functional Tester includes support for automation and testing of Adobe Flex applications. This support provides users with the ability to recognize and work with applications built with Adobe flex technology. |
