The Indispensable Resource for Automated Testing
Automated software testing has become a critical exercise, especially for developers utilizing iterative and agile methods. However, to achieve the full benefits of automated testing, teams need a deep understanding of both its principles and their testing tools. If you’re among the thousands of developers using IBM Rational Functional Tester (RFT), this book brings together all the insight, examples, and real-world solutions you need to succeed. Eight leading IBM testing experts thoroughly introduce this state-of-the-art product, covering issues ranging from building test environments through executing the most complex and powerful tests. Drawing on decades of experience with IBM Rational testing products, they address both technical and nontechnical challenges and present everything from best practices to reusable code.
Coverage Includes
- Integrating IBM RFT into your development processes
- Building highly efficient test environments, test harnesses, and test scripts
- Using RFT Visual Editor to extend testing automation to novice users
- Mastering basic scripting techniques, from data capture to script synchronization
- Managing script data using RFT Datapools
- Efficiently debugging scripts using Eclipse™ or Visual Studio®
- Managing execution flow: playback settings, logic, error handling, and more
- Handling domains that are not supported by RFT
- Using advanced techniques, such as mouse delays and custom verification pointsTesting specialized software, including mainframe, SAP, Siebel, and Adobe® Flex® applications
- Extending RFT with external libraries
- Developing RFT support for third-party Java™ or .NET controls
- Using RFT in both Linux® and Windows® environments
- Configuring internationalized testing within the RFT framework
