| Feature | Benefit |
|---|---|
| Reduce human error and increase test execution consistency with automated data entry and validation | Most manual tests require testers to enter data into the application under test and then verify that the resulting information matches expected values. If the tester inadvertently enters incorrect data or overlooks a data mismatch, the test results become invalid. By automating this data entry and data validation process for the tester, IBM Rational Manual Tester reduces the opportunity for error and ensures consistency of test execution. |
| Improve productivity with keyword driven testing | Manual Tester helps simplify test automation by allowing testers and domain experts to define and select keywords. Users can easily create manual tests leveraging reusable keywords and keywords that have automation by leveraging IBM Rational Functional Tester (RFT) framework. |
| Reduce test redundancy with sharing of common content across multiple tests | Changes in the software under test can create maintenance headaches for manual testers; even the smallest change may require updates to many tests. To overcome this problem, IBM Rational Manual Tester lets users organize test steps into reusable blocks that can be dragged-and-dropped into an unlimited number of manual tests. Updates to any step within a block are instantly reflected in every test containing that block, ensuring accuracy and increasing tester efficiency in the face of application change. |
| Rich text editor supports images and document attachments for individual test steps | To help testers clearly communicate each individual test step to others, IBM Rational Manual Tester provides a rich text editor with multiple customization options. You can vary font properties, insert screenshots and other images, and attach files containing additional information. All of this supporting content is accessible during test execution to reduce ambiguity and clarify each step. |
| Flexible configuration options to tailor tool to your process | Every project team develops a custom testing process to fit their needs. Testers can tailor IBM Rational Manual Tester to match the way their team works. Manual Tester allows testers to define their own test result types, so test results can be captured according to the team's conventions. In addition, testers can define custom data fields to capture additional information with each test step during authoring and execution. |
| Data driven testing | Improve team efficiency by creating and running tests with multiple sets of data to increase test coverage. |
| Imports Microsoft® Word - and Microsoft Excel-based manual tests | IBM Rational Manual Tester can import existing manual tests from Microsoft Word and Excel for immediate use. |
| Generates spreadsheet-ready results data for advanced reporting and analysis | Test results generated during test runs are both accessible from within IBM Rational Manual Tester and exportable to a CSV format to facilitate analysis within any third-party tool of your choice. |
