With IBM® Rational® Manual Tester, you can use test documents you created with Microsoft® Word, Excel, or IBM Rational® TestManager's ManualTest or even create your own import formatter so that you can import test documents that were created in other formats or other applications.
About Importing Test Documents
You do not have to recreate test documents that you have authored using Microsoft Word, Microsoft Excel, or ManualTest in Rational TestManager. You can import these documents into IBM Rational Manual Tester with ease. In addition, if you have Java programming skills, you can create your own import formatter, which allows you to import test documents in other formats.Importing Word and Excel Test Documents
By importing test documents, you avoid having to recreate the ones you authored with Microsoft Word or Excel.Importing Rational TestManager ManualTest Scripts
Rather than recreating scripts you authored with Rational TestManager ManualTest, you can import them into IBM Rational Manual Tester.Creating an Import Formatter
By default, you can import Microsoft Excel, Microsoft Word, and Rational TestManager ManualTest test documents with the import formatters provided in Rational Manual Tester. If your test documents were created with a different program or have a non-standard statement format, you can create a customized import formatter. This section describes how to create an import formatter by modifying an example import formatter in Eclipse, building it, and moving it to Manual Tester.
