Enabling multi-window support to test Functional HTML tests

You can enable multi-window support for Functional HTML tests to record the actions that you perform in multiple windows of the same browser instance. The playing back of the test finds controls from all the active windows of the browser instance. You can use this capability when an HTML application opens a new browser window after you perform an action from the parent window of the application.

Before you begin

You must have enabled the browser from Preferences. For information, see related links.

About this task

You can enable multi-window playback support for Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, and Microsoft Edge browsers.
Note: Multi-window means that a new window is opened from the existing window based on the user action. Opening another tab in the same browser does not qualify for a multi-window.

Procedure

  1. Select the following check boxes in Windows > Preferences > Functional Test > Playback in Rational® Functional Tester:
    • Play back with Web UI Extension
    • Play back with Web UI action
  2. Click Apply.

Results

You can test Functional HTML tests that you run in multiple windows of Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox or Microsoft Edge browsers.
