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.
You can import one or more files of a single type at a time (Word, Excel, or Rational TestManager ManualTest ). The Manual Tester Import wizard helps you each step of the way.
When you import a test document, you specify:
For the name of the manual test script, Manual Tester uses the file name of the document you import and appends an .rmt extension. For example, if you import an Excel worksheet named TestingClassicsJava.xls, Manual Tester names the manual test script TestingClassicsJava.rmt.
When you import a Word or Excel test document that has statements with embedded tables, graphics, or charts, the tables, graphics, or charts are displayed in the manual test script.
When you import the Word file, Manual Tester creates a group with the label Log in as New Customer, and includes the next three statements in the group. Manual Tester creates a subgroup with the label Verify Item and New Customer because it has a lower heading level than the Log in as New Customer label. This is the manual test script that results from the imported Word file:
The following Word file has a Heading 2 style. Because it is the first heading style Manual Tester finds when importing the file, it creates a top-level group folder.
When you import the Word file, Manual Tester creates a top-level group with the label Log in as Existing Customer, and includes the next three statements in the group.
This is the manual test script that results from importing the Word file:
For this example, the Excel workbook contains
three worksheet tabs: PushButton, ListBox,
and EditBox. Here is an example of the PushButton worksheet:
When you import the Excel workbook, Manual Tester creates three group labels in the Outline view: PushButton, ListBox, and EditBox. It uses Column A of the first row of each worksheet tab as the description of the group in the Text Editor; for example To test all push buttons in the application. It uses Row 2 and subsequent rows in Column A to create statement labels for the group in the Outline view; for example, Test the OK Button, Test the Cancel button, and Test the Start button. Starting with Column B, Manual Tester combines all the columns in the row to form the description of the step in the Text Editor; for example, To test OK button action performed, To test Cancel button dialog closed, and To test Start application button Start Application dialog comes up.
