Rational Test Workbench

Simplifies test creation

• Story Board testing simplifies the creation of functional and regression tests. It combines natural language test narrative with visual editing through application screenshots.
• IBM ScriptAssure® technology provides greater test script resiliency for changes in the application user interface.
• Code-free test authoring allows you to create, modify and execute tests without programming knowledge.
• Visual and forms-based editors and a variety of wizards simplify the implementation of test sequences, data-driven testing and validation of expected results.

Lets you quickly develop complex performance test scenarios

• Automatic management of dynamic server responses accelerates the delivery of large-scale, user-independent performance test suites.
• An automatic data correlation engine reduces the effort required to develop and maintain large, multiuser load sets.
• The data correlation engine can recognize server responses that are dependent on a user’s data entry and automatically identify them for reuse in later server requests.
• You can extend the data correlation engine with simple correlation rules for custom applications with unique dynamic behavior.

Provides earlier, end-to-end continuous integration testing

• Allows you to quickly develop service-level tests by recording existing system behavior, using Business Process Execution Language models, or modeling data exchange in the visual test designer.
• Integrates with the IBM Rational collaborative lifecycle management solution to automatically schedule and execute tests when a new application build is available.
• Can quickly stub out unavailable services. This can help you implement agile and continuous integration and reduce your risk for application delivery.

Emulates workloads accurately

• A graphical workload scheduler simplifies the modeling of different user groups and load conditions.
• Built-in synchronization points improve the control of workflows and simulated stress points on the server.

Is extensible and supports standards and protocols

• Product extensibility features and application programming interfaces enable you to adapt legacy or custom services. Extensibility features include Java code insertion, custom data transformations, user interface proxy software development kit and user-defined correlation rules.
• Comprehensive functional, integration and performance testing supports legacy and modern architectures. These include IBM, TIBCO, Software AG, SAP, Oracle and other integration environments.
