Creating a script helper superclass
By
default, all Functional Test scripts extend the RationalTestScript class,
and thereby inherit a number of methods (such as callScript). If you are an
advanced user, you might want to create your own helper superclass, which
extends RationalTestScript and adds additional methods or
overrides the methods from RationalTestScript.
