1. What’s New in Automated Software Testing and ClearQuest Shmuel Bashan IBM Rational Bashansh@il.ibm.com

2. Rational Robot  Object Oriented.NET Support  New.NET scripts are now using object names for better recognition of objects and improved script readability  Cross Browser Playback  Allows to record on either Netscape or Internet Explorer and playback on the other  JDK 1.4 support  Robot scripts recorded against Java applications built in JDK 1.3 can be re-used when these apps are run with JDK 1.4  Robot is the only tool that has this function

3. Strong Testing Support for Multiple Languages  Updated technology support for Robot  VS.NET 7.1  PowerBuilder 8 & 9  Delphi 7  Oracle Forms JInitiator 9i and 11i  Continued updates ensure support for latest GUI technology releases  Identical user experience  Ideal for teams testing, or potentially testing, multiple technologies Rational Robot IBM Rational Robot JavaJava HTML/DHTMLHTML/DHTML PowerBuilderPowerBuilder Oracle Forms DelphiDelphi VS.NETVS.NET MFCMFC VisualBasicVisualBasic Challenge: Testing applications deployed to multiple environments

4. Rational TestManager  Manual Test  Improved manual testing support to allow more detailed expected and actual results and results logging  Allows users to associate a test description or a file to better describe the expected or actual result of a step or a VP.

5. Maximizing Testing Environments  Test lab automation through TestManager / VMware integration  Dynamic selection and instantiation of VMware images  Resource-sensitive context switches between configurations  Optimize use of existing lab resources  Eliminate error-prone manual processes  Reduce cycle time to permit more testing Rational TestManager Challenge: Testing applications deployed to multiple environments
