Functional Tester and Robot

You can run pre-recorded Functional Tester and Robot (Version 2003.06.00) scripts interchangeably from TestManager on the same or different instances of the application-under-test for Java and browser-based applications (Microsoft Internet Explorer and Netscape). You can record a Robot script and a Functional Tester script sequentially on the same or different instances of the application-under test, but not at the same time. To use these features, you must have all three products installed (Functional Tester, Robot, and TestManager).

You do not have to shut down Robot in order to use Functional Tester and vice versa, which includes recording sequentially.

TestManager enables you to view logs generated by different test case implementations on the suite level. Therefore, Robot and Functional Tester scripts will generate separate logs but these can be viewed together on the suite level through TestManager.

If you mix Robot and Functional Tester scripts in a suite and run the suite on a single computer under TestManager, a single log is created. If the Robot and Functional Tester scripts run on different computers under TestManager, each will have its own separate "computer" log, but both of these are accessible from the single log for the suite.

Note About TestManager Integration

Functional Tester is integrated with Rational TestManager version 2003.06.13. If you have the 2003.06.13 version of TestManager, you will be able to use the integrated features of Functional Tester and TestManager. Please see Understanding Functional Test Product Packaging and Integrations for important information on using the products together.
