Before you can start recording functional test scripts,
perform the following setup and configuration tasks:
- Create a functional test project. For an overview, see the related
topic on Functional Test projects.
Note: If you are part of a team,
and the team already has a project set up, consider connecting to
the existing project, instead of creating a new one. For more information,
see the related topic on Connecting to a Functional Tester project.
- Enable your browsers, Java environments and Eclipse platforms
using the enabler.
From
Rational® Functional Tester version
8.2.2 onwards,
Rational Functional Tester automatically
enables the environments for functional testing. As a result, you
can directly record functional test scripts without enabling components
manually. The automatic enablement takes place under certain conditions
and has limitations. For more information about the conditions and
limitations, see
Automatically enabled environment for functional testing.
Note: Enabling
64 bit JRE on 64 bit Linux causes the error "Wrong ELF
class: ELFCLASS32' for libftsys.so.. Currently, Rational Functional Tester does
not support 64 bit JRE on Linux.
If
required, you can manually enable or disable a browser, JRE or Eclipse
platform, in the Enable Environments dialog box (the enabler).
- Configure the application for testing. See Configuring Applications for Testing.
