Functional Tester supports testing of Microsoft HTML Applications (MSHTA). Before you can test an Microsoft HTA application, you must configure it by using the Application Configuration tool to start mshta.exe as the executable. For more information, see Tips and Tricks for Testing HTML Applications or Configuring Applications for Testing .
When you record a script, Functional Tester creates a test object map for the application-under-test. The test object map contains descriptions of all test objects to which the script refers. The test object maps that Functional Tester creates for HTML applications are often more hierarchical than those created for Java applications. The top level of the test object map is a browser and the HTML application is inside the browser. For more information, see the example of a test object map created for a HTML application.
You record scripts to test HTML applications on a single browser as you record any Functional Tester script. However, there are special considerations when recording cross-platform/cross-browser scripts. Tips and Tricks are available to help you record scripts to test HTML applications.
Functional Tester also enables you to test Java Applets within a browser (Netscape and Internet Explorer).
The HTML standard properties for HTML objects provide a common way to access properties and their values with different browsers.
Two versions of the deleteCookies method are available. One method deletes all cookies for the current profile or user; the other method deletes cookies in a specific page or domain for the current profile or user. For information, see the Functional Tester API Reference, in the com.rational.test.ft.object.interfaces package, under IBrowserObject.
