AJAX support

IBM Rational Functional Tester supports testing AJAX-based Web applications.

You can test AJAX-based applications in two different ways; by setting the Auto Trace option to true or by setting the Auto Trace option to false.

GetAjaxPendingRequests () Returns the number of AJAX pending requests at any given point of time since the first AjaxTraceOn.
