- Setting up Rational® Functional Tester
  The diagram in this topic shows the task flow for setting up IBM® Rational® Functional Tester.
- Creating a project
  The tests that you create, and the assets associated with the tests, reside in a project on your desktop. You can create the project separately, or you can simply record a test, which automatically creates a project named testproj.
- Getting started with the Rational® Functional Tester UI Test perspective
  In this article, you will learn the fundamental concepts of the Rational® Functional Tester UI Test perspective, such as recording a test, adding a verification point, abstracting data by using dataset, adding a loop, running a test and a compound test, and viewing test results.
- Getting started in the Functional Test perspective
  With the Functional Test perspective, you can find information and task flows to create and run functional tests for native or hybrid applications.
- Task flow: Integrating Rational® Functional Tester and Rational® Integration Tester
  You can execute integration tests in IBM® Rational® Functional Tester by using IBM Rational Functional Tester Extension for Rational Integration Tester. In IBM Rational Functional Tester, you can create a compound test to run the integration tests by using agents.
