Introduction

This tutorial shows the main features of Rational Performance Tester.

Exercises

The tutorial exercises are in the format of a movie. These movies are controlled by a player bar at the bottom of the screen that works like a set of VCR or CD player controls. You can pause, advance, and rewind the movie at any time. When you are finished with an exercise, you can continue to its accompanying activity to practice what you learned.

Activities

The tutorial activities are interactive versions of the exercises. They are simulations of the product that allow you to practice what you learned in the exercises. It is best to complete an exercise before doing the accompanying activity.

Time Required

The exercises in this tutorial last about 40 minutes total, and the activity takes about 10 total minutes to complete. If you decide to pause a movie and explore the product, the tutorial will take longer to finish.
