Rational Robot

Automation for regression, functional and configuration testing

IBM® Rational® Robot automates regression, functional and configuration testing for e-commerce, client/server and enterprise resource planning (ERP) applications. It is used to test applications based on a wide variety of user interface technologies. This software integrates with the IBM Rational TestManager solution to provide desktop management support for all testing activities.

Rational Robot software:

• Simplifies configuration testing—you can use Rational Robot to distribute functional testing among many machines, each one configured differently. You can simultaneously run the same functional tests to reduce the time needed to identify problems with specific configurations.
• Tests many types of applications—Rational Robot supports a wide range of environments and languages including HTML and DHTML, Java, VS.NET, Microsoft Visual Basic and Visual C++, Oracle Developer/2000, PeopleSoft, Sybase PowerBuilder and Borland Delphi.
• Ensures testing depth—with the click of a mouse, Rational Robot tests beyond an application's user interface to the hundreds of properties of its component objects, including ActiveX Controls, OCXs, Java applets and more.
• Tests custom controls and objects—Rational Robot allows you to test each application component under varying conditions. It provides test cases for menus, lists, alphanumeric characters, bitmaps and many more objects.
• Provides an integrated programming environment—Rational Robot generates test scripts in SQABasic. This integrated multiple document interface (MDI) scripting environment allows you to view and edit your test script while you are recording.
• Helps you analyze problems quickly—Rational Robot automatically logs test results into the integrated Rational Repository, and color codes them for quick visual analysis. By double-clicking on an entry, you are brought directly to the corresponding line in your test script to ensure fast analysis and correction of test script errors.
• Enables reuse—Rational Robot helps ensure you can reuse the same test script, without any modification, to test an application running on Microsoft Windows XP, Windows ME, Windows 2003, Windows 2000, Windows 98 or Windows NT.
