Handling inputs from IBM® Engineering Test Management in Rational® Functional Tester scripts

If you use IBM® Engineering Test Management to execute functional test scripts, you can make Engineering Test Management details available to the functional test script to be used during playback.

Engineering Test Management details could include script arguments and dataset iterations. You can use one of these methods to make Engineering Test Management details available to functional test scripts, depending on your requirements:

  • Pass Engineering Test Management details and arguments while running a specific functional test script. These arguments are specific and local to that script alone. For information about using this method, see IBM Engineering Test Management script arguments.
  • Pass details from Engineering Test Management at a test script, test case or test suite level. You can use execution variables to pass details at any or all of these levels. For information about this method, see IBM Engineering Test Management execution variables.
