Tutorials for testing in the Functional Test perspective
You can use the tutorials to get started with testing in the Functional Test perspective in Rational® Functional Tester.
Extend Rational® Functional Tester capabilities using Proxy SDK
The movies in this tutorial show you how to extend the Rational® Functional Tester proxies using the proxy SDK.
Module 2: Develop proxies using Proxy SDK wizards
The movies in this tutorial show you how to develop Rational® Functional Tester proxy with the Proxy SDK wizards. You can create proxy stubs using the Proxy SDK wizards.
Introduction: Develop proxies with Proxy SDK wizards
This module demonstrates how you can use the Proxy SDK Wizards to create proxy classes, map controls to the proxy, create template proxy code, and deploy the proxy. This works only in case of domain extensions implemented in Java™. Using the export and import options available in the Proxy SDK Wizards, you can create a proxy package and automate the deployment and loading of the proxy in Rational® Functional Tester respectively.

- Tutorials for testing in the UI Test perspective
  You can use the tutorials to get started with testing in the UI Test perspective in Rational® Functional Tester.
- Tutorials for testing in the Functional Test perspective
  You can use the tutorials to get started with testing in the Functional Test perspective in Rational® Functional Tester.
  - Get started with functional testing using simplified scripts
    This tutorial introduces you to simplified test scripts and the application visuals and helps you get started with Rational® Functional Tester for testing applications. It uses a sample Java™ application that is installed with the product for functional testing.
  - Create a functional test using Java scripts
    This Rational® Functional Tester tutorial walks you through the major use cases for creating and playing back functional tests that use Java scripts. This comprehensive tutorial uses a sample Java™ application that is installed with the product.
  - Perform a data-driven functional test using Java scripts
    In this tutorial, you will learn how to create a data-driven functional test using the Rational® Functional Tester data-driven test wizard.
  - Test Adobe Flex application
    This tutorial walks you through the steps to enable your Adobe Flex application, and test the enabled Flex application from a local test computer using Rational® Functional Tester. The steps are based on the roles that Flex developers and testers perform.
  - Test GEF applications
    The movies in this tutorial show you how to use Rational® Functional Tester to test applications that are based on the Graphical Editing Framework (GEF). It also shows how Rational Functional Tester works with GEF objects.
  - Extend Rational® Functional Tester capabilities using Proxy SDK
    The movies in this tutorial show you how to extend the Rational® Functional Tester proxies using the proxy SDK.
    - Module 1: Extend Rational® Functional Tester capabilities using Proxy SDK
      The movies in this module show you how to extend the Functional Tester proxies using Proxy SDK.
    - Module 2: Develop proxies using Proxy SDK wizards
      The movies in this tutorial show you how to develop Rational® Functional Tester proxy with the Proxy SDK wizards. You can create proxy stubs using the Proxy SDK wizards.

      - Lesson 1: Record a functional test script
        In this lesson, you watch the recording of a functional test script and observe the default proxy class name of the custom tree control. For this tutorial, you see how to use the sample interface that contains the TreeApp application for recording.
      - Lesson 2: Create a proxy project
        In this lesson, you see how to create a proxy project.
      - Lesson 3: Create a proxy class
        In this lesson, you see how to create a proxy class and build it.
      - Lesson 4: Export the proxy package
        In this lesson, you see how to export the proxy package to the folder that the user specified. You can use the export wizard to export proxy resources to a compressed (.zip) file.
      - Lesson 5: Import the proxy package
        In this lesson, you see how to import the items in a proxy package into Rational® Functional Tester or any computer. The jar file and the .rftcust file is imported into the Rational Functional Tester customization folder, for example, C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\IBM\RFT.
      - Lesson 6: Verify the custom proxy
        In this lesson, you see how to record a functional test script similar to lesson 1 and verify the new proxy. You will see the change in class name after deploying the new proxy.
    - Summary: Extend Functional Tester capabilities using Proxy SDK
      This tutorial has shown you how to create a proxy project, build and deploy the proxies and verify the new proxy by recording a functional test script.
