Functional testing proxy SDK samples for the Visual Studio IDE

Rational® Functional Tester ships with some example proxy code you can use to learn about proxy SDK. You can open these examples from within the sample projects shipped with Rational® Functional Tester.

The sample projects contain sample proxy code, customization files, and the applications under test (AUT).

Opening the sample projects

To open the examples in the sample proxy projects, click File > Open > Project, browse to C:\Program Files\IBM\SDP\FunctionalTester\vsnet\FTProxySamples, and open the Visual Studio .Net solution files with the .sln extension under different sample projects. The sample project displays in the Solution Explorer.

There are five sample projects that are shipped with Rational® Functional Tester:

Button
CheckBox
FormattedText
SpinControl
Grid

Note: After you open the above samples, perform the following steps:

Rebuild the proxy samples. The .dll file is generated in the proxy sample location. For example; <product install directory>\SDP\FunctionalTester\vsnet\FTProxySamples\Button\ButtonOverrideProxy\bin\Debug
Close IBM® Rational® Functional Tester.
Copy the .dll file, and the .rftcust file from the proxy sample location to the customization directory available at C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\IBM\RFT\customization location.
Note: The .rftcust file is located in <product install directory>\SDP\FunctionalTester\vsnet\FTProxySamples\<Proxy samples> location.
Restart IBM® Rational® Functional Tester.
