  - 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.
      - Lesson 1: Overview of GEF objects in the application under test
        HCL DevOps Test UI (Test UI) can now recognize objects in the application under test that supports GEF applications. For this tutorial, we are using IBM Rational Systems Developer Version 7.0.5.3 that supports Graphical Editing Framework (GEF) as the application under test. In Rational Systems Developer, we have inserted class diagrams that represents log files using the palette. Using Test UI, we will test the functionality of these class diagrams. In this lesson, you will have an overview of the GEF objects that are inserted in Rational Systems Developer.
      - Lesson 2: Enabling a GEF application
        Before testing GEF applications using HCL DevOps Test UI (Test UI), you must enable the application under test for functional testing. In this lesson, you will see how to enable the test applications that supports Graphical Editing Framework for functional testing.
      - Lesson 3: Recording a functional test script
        In this lesson, you will see how to record a functional test script to test the functionality of the Graphical Editing Framework (GEF) application. You will watch the recording behavior of HCL DevOps Test UI (Test UI) as data, image, and properties verification points are created on the GEF objects and displayed in the functional test script.
    - 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.
    - Summary: Test GEF applications
      This tutorial has shown you how to test applications based on the Graphical Editing Framework (GEF) using HCL DevOps Test UI (Test UI).
  - Extend DevOps Test UI capabilities using Proxy SDK
