You can use the tutorials to get started with testing in the UI Test perspective in Rational® Functional Tester.

Prerequisites

Before you can get started with testing by using the tutorials, you must have completed the following tasks:

Be sure to start Rational® Functional Tester on a new workspace.

Testing in the UI Test perspective

In the UI Test perspective, you record tests from web applications. The UI Test perspective provides you a recording and natural language scripting environment to test browser applications that use HTML5 and JQuery. You can test on Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome, or Safari browsers.

A web application includes many user scenarios. For example, on an e-commerce website many users only browse the products, some of the users sign in and add products to the cart, and a few of them purchase the products and sign out of the web site.

In this tutorial, you can learn to record actions on the web application, create verification points, run the test, view the test results, split actions in the test, create a dataset and associate it with the test, create a compound test, and to add a loop to the test. You can use https://en.wikipedia.org as the application under test (AUT).
