See the technical document at http://www.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?&uid=swg27019698 for a list of domains supported for functional testing in each release of Rational Functional Tester.
Yes. Datapools can be private or shared, much like object maps, so several scripts may use the same datapool.
In Simplified Scripting, more than one shared datapool can be used at a group level but not at a script level.
Rational Functional Tester has a special function to test popup windows. Do these steps to capture a popup window on the application under test (AUT):
on the Recording Monitor toolbar.As the timer counts down, move the mouse into the popup window, without actually pointing to a specific object. A good place to move the mouse is between the items on the list. Make sure that the mouse pointer is a regular pointer, not a pointing hand, and that you are not pointing to a specific item in the menu, unless that is all you want to capture. When the time expires, Rational Functional Tester highlights the data that will be captured in red and returns to the Verification Point dialog box. Here, you can choose to do a data verification point and test the table contents.
For information about the Time Delayed Selection object selection method, see Select an Object page of the Verification Point and Action Wizard.
No. If the environment has been correctly enabled, the application is testable even if Rational Functional Tester is not used to start it.
For information about enabling environments, see Preparing the functional test environment.
Scripts recorded under a JRE can be played back on a different JRE without requiring maintenance. However, when recording on JRE 1.3.x and playing back under JRE 1.4.x, object properties might change due to changes in the JRE. This causes errors during playback. To eliminate the errors, you must update the object properties.
For information about updating object properties, see Updating recognition properties.
