Administrator Guide
This guide describes how to install IBM® Rational® Functional Tester software. After you install the software, you can perform administration tasks such as license configuration and integration with other products. This guide is intended for administrators.
- Installation
  You can find information about the installation of IBM® Rational® Functional Tester.
- License management
  Licensing for your installed IBM® software and customized packages is administered through the Manage Licenses wizard in the IBM Installation Manager. The Manage Licenses wizard displays license information for each installed package.
- Starting Rational® Functional Tester from the command line
  You can start Rational® Functional Tester from the desktop environment or a command-line interface.
- Integrations in UI Test perspective
  In this section, you will learn about the supported integrations for the Web UI Test perspective.
  - Integration plugin compatibility matrix
    You can find information about the versions of the integration plugins that are required to integrate Jenkins, Ant, , and UrbanCode™ Deploy with Rational® Functional Tester.
  - Testing with Ant
    You can use Ant to run compound tests and Web UI tests from the command-line interface.
  - Integration with Azure DevOps for UI tests
    When you use Azure DevOps for continuous integration and continuous deployment of your application, you can create tests for your application in Rational® Functional Tester and run those tests in Azure DevOps pipelines. You can integrate Azure DevOps with Rational Functional Tester by using the IBM Rational Test Workbench extension that is available in the Visual Studio Marketplace portal.
  - EGit integration
    You can store your test assets in the remote Git repository and use EGit for version control operations. EGit is an Eclipse plugin for the Git version control system.
  - Integration with IBM® Engineering Workflow Management
    You can manage test assets with Jazz™ source control management by integrating the test workbench with IBM® Engineering Workflow Management (formerly known as Rational® Team Concert™) Eclipse client.
  - Integration with Engineering Test Management
    You can integrate IBM® Engineering Test Management (formerly known as IBM Rational® Quality Manager) with Rational Functional Tester to initiate test runs from Engineering Test Management.
  - Integration with Jenkins
    You can use the IBM® Rational® Functional Tester - UI Test Jenkins plugin to run tests on a Jenkins server.
  - Testing with Maven
    Starting from 9.2.0, you can use the Maven plug-in that is provided with the testing product to run tests as part of your Maven build. Apache Maven is a software build tool based on the concept of a project object model (POM).
  - Integration with Micro Focus ALM
    You can integrate Rational® Functional Tester with Micro Focus Application Lifecycle Management (ALM) to run test assets from Micro Focus ALM.
  - Integration with Rational® Integration Tester
    You can use Rational® Integration Tester extension to run integration tests from Rational Functional Tester. You can either import the projects from Rational Integration Tester or manage them from Rational Functional Tester by establishing the connection between the products. You can also create a compound test to run the tests by using the Agents.
    - Running Rational® Integration Tester tests
      You can use Rational® Functional Tester Extension for Rational Integration Tester to run integration tests.
  - Testing with UrbanCode Deploy
    With the IBM® Rational® Functional Tester plugin for UrbanCode™ Deploy, you can automate the execution of tests and compound tests.
- Integrations in Functional Test perspective
  In this section, you will learn about the supported integrations for the Functional Test perspective.

Running Rational® Integration Tester tests

You can use Rational® Functional Tester Extension for Rational® Integration Tester to run integration tests.

You also have the option to just import the projects to Rational® Functional Tester from Rational® Integration Tester, add the tests to a compound test to run them. You can either use Rational® Performance Tester Agent or Rational® Integration Tester Agent to generate the load. You need a compound test that contains the Rational® Integration Tester tests.

If you update integrationAPI tests in Rational® Functional Tester and want to apply the updates back to Rational® Integration Tester, you must install Rational® Integration Tester and define the path to its installation directory to set the connection.

You can find the following use cases to work with integration tests in Rational® Functional Tester:

You have installed both the products and then you connect to the Integration project. Alternatively, you open the Integration resource directly from the Test Navigator view, and then work directly with the sources files.
Rational® Integration Tester is not installed and you import the projects in the workspace of Rational® Functional Tester.

Note: The imported tests must be edited in Rational® Integration Tester. Similarly, the compounds tests must be edited in Rational® Functional Tester.

Running the compound test

Click Run Compound Test.

After the run completes, the Rational® Integration Tester report displays statistics on the executed sequences and Timed Sections if some are defined in the tests.
