Tutorials for testing in the Functional Test perspective
You can use the tutorials to get started with testing in the Functional Test perspective in HCL DevOps Test UI (Test UI).
Test GEF applications
The movies in this tutorial show you how to use HCL DevOps Test UI (Test UI) to test applications that are based on the Graphical Editing Framework (GEF). It also shows how Test UI works with GEF objects.
Introduction: Test GEF applications
This tutorial is designed for HCL DevOps Test UI (Test UI) to test the function of Graphical Editing Framework (GEF) objects that are implemented using GEF. For this tutorial, GEF objects were created using IBM® Rational® Systems Developer Version 7.0.5 (the application under test). The Test UI test object map lists the GEF objects in the application under test. The test object map contains recognition properties for each GEF object.

  - Test GEF applications
    The movies in this tutorial show you how to use HCL DevOps Test UI (Test UI) to test applications that are based on the Graphical Editing Framework (GEF). It also shows how Test UI works with GEF objects.
    - Introduction: Test GEF applications
      This tutorial is designed for HCL DevOps Test UI (Test UI) to test the function of Graphical Editing Framework (GEF) objects that are implemented using GEF. For this tutorial, GEF objects were created using IBM® Rational® Systems Developer Version 7.0.5 (the application under test). The Test UI test object map lists the GEF objects in the application under test. The test object map contains recognition properties for each GEF object.
    - Module 1: Test GEF applications
      This module will give you an overview of the Graphical Editing Framework (GEF) objects that are created in IBM Rational Systems Developer, which is the application under test. You will also see how to enable GEF applications and create verification points to test the GEF objects. In this module you will observe how HCL DevOps Test UI (Test UI) recognizes the GEF edit parts in the application under test.
    - Module 2: Applying Test UI capabilities to GEF objects
      In this module, you see how HCL DevOps Test UI (Test UI) capabilities are applied to Graphical Editing Framework (GEF) objects. Test UI identifies GEF objects that are not visible in the work area. It also recognizes GEF palettes in the application under test. You will see how to make the functional test scripts more resilient to changes by configuring object recognition properties.
