Summary

IBM Rational Robot by IBM Rational Software

General purpose test automation tool for client/server applications. IBM® Rational Robot lets testers automate the functional and regression testing of .NET, Java, Web, and other GUI-based applications. It automates regression, functional and configuration testing for e-commerce, client/server and ERP applications. IBM Rational Robot is used to test applications based upon a wide variety of user interface technologies, and is integrated with the IBM Rational TestManager solution to provide desktop management support for all testing activities.

IBM Rational Robot

Versatile functional, regression, and configuration testing tool for environments in which applications are developed using more than one IDE and/or programming language

Eases manual testing teams into automated testing. Regression testing with IBM Rational Robot is a good early step into automation, because it is easy to use and helps testers learn about automation processes as they work

Enables experienced test-automation engineers to uncover more defects by extending their test scripts with conditional logic to cover more of the application, and to define test cases to call external DLLs or executables

Provides test cases for common objects such as menus, lists and bitmaps, and specialized test cases for objects specific to the development environment

Includes built-in test management, and integrates with the tools in the IBM Rational Team Unifying Platform for defect tracking, change management and requirements traceability

Supports multiple UI technologies for everything from Java and the Web to all VS.NET controls, including VB.NET, J#, C#, and Managed C++

Simplifies configuration testing - Rational Robot can be used to distribute functional testing among many machines, each one configured differently. The same functional tests can be run simultaneously, shortening the time to identify problems with specific configurations

Tests many types of applications - Rational Robot supports a wide range of environments and languages, including HTML and DHTML, Java, VS.NET, Microsoft Visual Basic and Visual C++, Oracle Developer/2000, PeopleSoft, Sybase PowerBuilder and Borland Delphi. For advanced testing of Java. VS.NET and Web-based applications, as well as of 3270 (zSeries) and 5250 (iSeries) terminal-based applications, see IBM Rational Functional Tester

Ensures testing depth - Tests beyond an application's UI to the hundreds of properties of an application's component objects - such as ActiveX Controls, OCXs, Java applets and many more - with just the click of a mouse

Tests custom controls and objects - Rational Robot allows you to test each application component under varying conditions and provides test cases for menus, lists, alphanumeric characters, bitmaps and many more objects

Provides an integrated programming environment- Rational Robot generates test scripts in SQABasic, an integrated MDI scripting environment that allows you to view and edit your test script while you are recording

Helps you analyze problems quickly - Rational Robot automatically logs test results into the integrated Rational Repository, and color codes them for quick visual analysis. By double-clicking on an entry, you are brought directly to the corresponding line in your test script, thereby ensuring fast analysis and correction of test script errors

Enables reuse - Rational Robot ensures that the same test script, without any modification, can be reused to test an application running on Microsoft Windows XP, Windows ME, Windows 2003, Windows 2000, Windows 98 or Windows NT
