Configuring Applications for Testing

You need to configure your Java, HTML, VB.NET, or Windows applications for testing with Functional Tester to provide name, path, and other information that Functional Tester uses to start and run the application. You use the Application Configuration Tool to configure applications.

To add and configure your applications:

  1. Open the Application Configuration Tool by clicking Configure > Configure Applications for Testing from Functional Tester, or by clicking the Edit button in the Start Application dialog box.

  2. To add a new application, click the Add button.

  3. In the Add Application dialog box, select the application type, and click Next.

  4. For a Java application or an executable or batch file, click Browse to find the application. If it is a Java application, select the .class or .jar file of the Java application you want to add.

For an HTML application, select either Local or URL. If Local, browse to an .htm or .html file. If URL, enter the URL address.

For a VB.NET or Windows application, browse to an executable or batch file.

  1. With the file selected, click the Open button.

    The file name and path will then show up in the Filename field.

  2. Click Finish.

    The application will then show up in the Applications list in the Application Configuration Tool.

  3. Look at the information in the Detailed Information list.

For a Java application, the Name, Kind, Path, .class/.jar file, and Working Dir fields will automatically be filled in for you. The JRE, Classpath, and Args fields are optional, and could be filled in by you as needed. Make any necessary edits.

For HTML, the Name, Kind, and URL fields will be filled in. Select the default browser in the Browser field.

For information on these fields, see the Application Configuration Tool.

  1. You can click the Run button to test that your application is properly configured.

  2. You must click OK or Apply to save the changes you made.

Note: Once an application has been added, you can edit its information any time by opening this tool and selecting it in the Applications list.
