Creating a Test Script Type

Before you can use Manual Tester files with TestManager, you must create the related type of test script in TestManager.

To create a test script type:
  1. In TestManager, select Tools > Manage > Test Script Types.
  2. In the Manage Test Script Types dialog box, select New.
  3. In the New Test Script Type dialog box, enter the name for the new test script type.
  4. Click the Console Adapter Type tab.
  5. Select Use the command line console adapter.
  6. In the New instance command line field, enter the full path to the rtMt.exe file that runs IBM Rational Manual Tester. Enclose the path in double quotes. If you installed Manual Tester in the default location, enter "c:\Program Files\IBM\Rational\SDP\6.0\ManualTest\eclipse\rtMt.exe"
  7. In the Edit instance command line field, enter the full path in double quotes, add a space and {testscriptpath}. If you installed Manual Tester in the default location, enter "c:\Program Files\IBM\Rational\SDP\6.0\ManualTest\eclipse\rtMt.exe" {testscriptpath}
  8. Click the Execution Adapter Type tab.
  9. Click Use the command line execution adapter.
  10. In the Execution command line field, enter the full path in double quotes, add a space, -x, a space and {testscriptpath}, including the curly braces. If you installed Manual Tester in the default location, enter "c:\Program Files\IBM\Rational\SDP\6.0\ManualTest\eclipse\rtMt.exe" -x {testscriptpath}
    Note: Omitting spaces in the syntax of steps 6, 7 and 10 causes unpredictable results in both Manual Tester and TestManager.
