Integration with Rational® Quality Manager

Rational® Quality Manager reports

When you run a test script from Rational® Quality Manager, the default report that is displayed during a test run is attached to the results of Rational® Quality Manager. You can customize the reports based on your requirements. See Customizing reports.

If you use Rational® Quality Manager 4.0 or later, you can view and analyze the test reports in Rational® Quality Manager. You can analyze the test reports while the test is in running state and after the test run is complete. You can click the Analyze Results Interactively using Rational® Functional Tester option from the Execution Results dialog box to view the test reports in Rational® Quality Manager.

The result completion state that is reported to Rational® Quality Manager reflects the overall verdict of the test log that is associated with the run. See Test log overview. In many cases, a test might contain a failed verification point, but still is considered as passed. You can view the attached report in the execution result of Rational® Quality Manager, and then set the execution results status accordingly.

You can view the full run results from within Rational® Functional Tester by opening Rational® Functional Tester in the workspace that is configured to be used by the adapter.

If the adapter is running from the command line , you must stop the adapter before opening Rational® Functional Tester. When Rational® Functional Tester is opened, you can access the full test reporting and test log capabilities. The test results for the runs that are initiated from Rational® Quality Manager are under the Rational® Quality Manager Results page.

Known limitations

• You cannot run tests from Rational® Quality Manager with encrypted datasets. When using such datasets, a password prompt is not displayed in the adapter service or in the command-line interface. The use of encrypted datasets are not recommended in the GUI mode, because it requires user interaction with Rational® Functional Tester to initiate test runs from Rational® Quality Manager.

• You can start only one adapter per product installation on a given computer. If you use multiple adapters on the same computer, it requires you to install each product as its own software package in its own directory. If you want to run multiple adapters on the same computer, you must ensure that adapters are using different workspaces.
