Reference Guide
This guide describes the additional topics to gain more knowledge about Rational® Functional Tester.
Reference for the UI Test perspective
In this section, you will learn all the reference or additional information about the Web UI Test perspective.
Mobile test reference
Read some of the reference topics about testing mobile applications.
UI Test result reports
By default, the Unified Report is displayed after a mobile test is run from devices, simulators, emulators, or workbench. A statistical report is generated if the test is generated from Rational® Functional Tester only. The mobile web report gives details on each action recorded and played back including the think time, the response time and warning messages that help you to identify problems. The statistical report summarizes the health of the run, displays the data that is the most significant to the run, summarizes the resource monitoring performance and gives an average step response time graph.

UI Test result reports

By default, the Unified Report is displayed after a mobile test is run from devices, simulators, emulators, or workbench. A statistical report is generated if the test is generated from Rational® Functional Tester only. The mobile web report gives details on each action recorded and played back including the think time, the response time and warning messages that help you to identify problems. The statistical report summarizes the health of the run, displays the data that is the most significant to the run, summarizes the resource monitoring performance and gives an average step response time graph.

UI Test Statistical report

Overall page

The following report begins with a summary:

Run Summary: Summarizes the information on the test that was run: elapse time, run status, name of the executed test.

UI Test Health: Summarizes the health of the run and displays the data most significant to the run. This data includes the number of application AUT launched during the test execution, the total number of step attempted and completed, the percentage of completion, the number of steps that failed, if any, and the number of errors.

Step Performance

The report contains a line graph that shows the 10 highest average step response times for the run. The table that follows the graph provides the following information for each step:

The minimum request response time for that step in the run.
The average request response time for the run.
The maximum response time for that step in the run.
The standard deviation response time for the run.
The rate for attempts.
The number of attempts.

You can sort the order of the test steps, which are listed in the Step pane, either by alphabetical order or order of execution of the test steps. The default sorting of the test steps is by order of execution.

You can either click the Execution order icon or the Alphabetical order icon to toggle between the sorting options. You can also click the Up Arrow icon to sort the test steps in the correct order of execution or the correct alphabetical order. Similarly, you can click the Down Arrow icon to sort the test steps in the reverse order of execution or the reverse alphabetical order.
