Application View

The Application View displays the application visuals (snapshots) that are captured while recording scripts. The visuals of the test application are captured only if both the simplified scripting and the application visuals feature preferences are enabled.

Rational Functional Tester captures the application controls and their data and property details during recording if the application visuals, data verification point and data driven commands features are enabled in the Rational Functional Tester preferences window. With these features enabled, you can create or edit verification points in the script and insert data-driven commands from the application visuals that are displayed in the Application View without opening the test application.

When you click a simplified script test line, the application visual that contains the application control is highlighted in blue and is displayed in the Application View. The Thumbnails pane in the Application View displays the application visuals of all the test scripts in the project that are captured while creating the scripts.

You can modify the test script to test additional application controls, create or edit verification points, or insert data-driven commands by selecting the application controls in the Application View without opening the application under test.

The following controls are available in the Application View toolbar:
