How to change the Test Object naming convention under Rational Functional Tester

Answer

To change the Test Object naming convention with a required property of the control, use the following syntax in the Functional Test Script Templates.

1. Select a Project in which the naming convention has to be changed
   
   
2. Click on the options Project > Properties > Functional Test Script Templates
   
   
3. Select the Template Script: <Domain>Test Object Name in the drop down list
   Where the domain is the domain of the Application Under Test (it can be HTML / Java etc...)
   
   
4. Use the following syntax in the Template:
   
   %map:<property>%^_%map:<property>%^
   
   Where the <property> is the desired property of the control to be used in the naming convention.
   
   Example :
   
   By default in the HTML domain control's role property along with its name property is used to name the Test Object.
   
   The syntax used is : " %map:#role%^_%map:#name%^ " .
   
   
   If there is requirement to use role along with ID property. Then Select Script:HTML Test Object Name Template and change the syntax as:
   
   "%map:#role%^_%map:.id%^"
   
   Note: If Recognition properties have to be used, then prefix "." symbol with the property. If the Administrative property have to be used then prefix # symbol with the property.
