Creating a functional test project

A functional test project stores application test assets such as scripts, object maps, verification point baseline files, and script templates. You must create a functional test project before you can record scripts. You must create a new functional test project or connect to an existing functional test project before you record a new script.

Procedure

  1. From the Functional Tester menu, click File > New > Functional Test Project.
  2. In the Project name field, type the name of the new project.

    Names for functional test projects cannot contain the following characters: \ / : * ? " < > | ( ) or a space.

  3. In the Project location field, type the data path for this functional test project, or click Browse to select a path.

    If you use ClearCase®, you must create the functional test project in a ClearCase snapshot or dynamic view. You can add the project to ClearCase later. If you do not create a functional test project in a ClearCase view, you can share the project by moving it to a ClearCase view and adding it to source control.

  4. Optional: Select Add the project to Source Control to use ClearCase.
  5. Optional: If TestManager is installed, select Associate the project with current Rational Project to run Functional Tester scripts from TestManager and use TestManager to analyze test results.
    Note: If the Associate the project with current Rational Project check box is unavailable, you must create a Rational project and log in to the project before you can associate a functional test project with a Rational project. To use the TestManager features, Rational Administrator and TestManager must be installed. You must create a Rational project, and log into TestManager.
  6. Click Finish.
