Training Description

This introductory Essentials of Rational Functional Tester self-paced technical training course is designed to familiarize testing professionals with the basics of the IBM® Rational® test automation tools for use in testing Java™ and Web applications.

This seminar will illustrate how testers can build, enhance, and maintain scripts in a full-function Java Integrated Development Environment (IDE) that integrates with the IBM® Rational® Software Delivery Platform products. It incorporates hands-on exercises that will allow students to explore the power of using IBM® Rational® Functional Tester. It will demonstrate how Rational Functional Tester application builds effective and resilient test scripts using Java code through IBM’s ScriptAssure.™ technology.

The focus is on the practical application of Rational Functional Tester to resolve common Java and Web automated testing challenges. Additionally, some basics about Java code relevant to creating scripts for testing are covered. This course focuses on getting started with Rational Functional Tester.
