Customizing the Tools menu

The Tools menu is a user-configurable menu that allows you to access personal tools from the Rational® Test RealTime graphical user interface (GUI). You can customize the Tools menu to meet your own requirements.

In the Tools menu, each tool appears as a sub-menu item, or Name, with one or several associated actions or Captions.

The Tool Configuration dialog allows you to configure a new or existing tool.
