Introduction to Rational Test SuiteIntroduction to Rational Test Suite

Rational Test Suite is a software solution for

composing, developing, managing, debugging

and run automatic tests.

Rational Test Suite consist of next major

applications :

�

Test Manager

� Clear Q uest

� Robot � PureCoverage

�

Purify

� RequisitePro

� SoDa

� Test Factory



� Clear Q uest - Rational Clear Q uest is a defect

tracking and change request

management system.

� PureCoverage - Rational PureCoverage automatically pinpoints areas of code that have not

been exercised during testing.

� Purify - Rational Purify automatically pinpoints

hard-to-find, run-time errors in your applications.




� RequisitePro - Rational RequisitePro helps teams

organize, prioritize, track, and control

changing requirements of a system or

application.

� SoDa - Rational SoDA provides automatic

generation of software documentation.

SoDA templates support Microsoft W ord

95, 97, 98, and 2000.





� Test Factory - Rational TestFactory automatically

generates comprehensive test

scripts.

� Test Manager - Rational TestManager is the cornerstone

of Rational¶s testing tools, controlling and

managing all test activities.

� Robot - Rational Robot lets you create, modify,and run automated functional tests on

your applications.



Rational TestManager Rational TestManager

Rational TestManager is the one place to manage all testing

activities²planning, design, implementation, execution, and

analysis. TestManager ties together testing with the rest of the

development effort, joining your testing assets and tools to

provide a single point from which to understand the exact state

of your project.




Plan Test Phase

The test plan contains information about the purpose and

goals of testing within the project.Additionally, the test plan

identifies the strategies to be used to implement and

execute testing and resources needed.

� The Test Plan

The purpose of plan test is to identify and describe the

testing that will be implemented and executed. This is

accomplished by generating a test plan which contains the

requirements for test and test strategies.A single test plan

may be developed, describing all the different types of tests

to be implemented and executed, or one test plan per type

of test may be developed. Either is method is acceptable.



Design Test Phase

The purpose of Design Test Phase is to identify, describe

and generate the test model and its reported artifacts (test

procedures and test cases).


The test model is a representation of what will be tested and

how it will be tested. It is a view of the design and

implementation models and includes the collection of thetest cases, test procedures, and test scripts, and their

relationship.

� Test Model




Implement Test Phase

The purpose of Implement Test Phase is to implement

(record, generate, or program) the test procedures that were

defined in Design Test. The output artifact is a computer

readable version of the test procedure, referred to as a test

script. The generation of test scripts can be done within the

context of test automation tools or programming

environments. There is an implementation for each test

case defined in test plan.

A test case is a set of test inputs, execution conditions, and

expected results developed for particular objective, such as

to exercise a particular program path or to verify

compliance with a specific requirement.

Test implementation with Rational RobotTest implementation with Rational Robot

Rational Robot

Rational Robot is a part of Rational Test Suite that lets to

Test Engineer to create, modify, debug and run automated

functional tests on applications under test ( AU T).




Implementation of Test Scripts

They are the computer readable instructions that automate the

execution of a test procedure (or portion of a test procedure). Test

scripts may be created (recorded ) or automatically generated

using test automation tools, programmed using a programming language, or a combination of recording, generating, and

programming.

In order to check an application under test Script Developer

uses such a ³Verification Points´ combined with different ³Verification Methods ´




Verification Points

The location in the instructions where an actual result will be

compared with an expected result.

� Alphanumeric

� Clipboard

� Menu

� Object Data

� Object Properties

�W indow Existence

�W indow Image

� File Comparison

� File Existence

� Module Existence

� Region Image

�W eb Site Scan

�W eb Site Compare




Verification Method

The machine readable instruction that executes the comparison

between expected and actual results. Different verification

methods exist to verify different attributes.




Example Case: Check that adding of new agent updates Data Base.

Unattended Run

During run of test cases tester could do

his

other tasks and return only to get results.

Written once, runs a lot of times

You could run the same test script

again and again.

Save the time

Automatic test decrease

dramatically test time.

Decrease tool time

We can use the scripts to run during

non working hours (Night Runs)

Full Coverage of Inputs Range

Using test script it ¶s possible to pass over all Valid Input Range

and pass over Invalid Range. This is what regular tester can ¶t do
