  - Perform a data-driven functional test using Java scripts
    In this tutorial, you will learn how to create a data-driven functional test using the HCL DevOps Test UI (Test UI) data-driven test wizard.
  - 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.
      - Lesson 1: Identifying GEF test objects using the scroll logic
        In this lesson, you will observe how HCL DevOps Test UI (Test UI) identifies Graphical Editing Framework (GEF) test objects that are not displayed in the IBM Rational Systems Developer work area. If the test objects are moved beyond the work area after recording the script, Test UI scrolls beyond the work area and identifies the GEF test objects during playback. For example: When you change the resolution of the screen from 1024 x 720 to 800 x 600, the test objects in the work area is hidden. Test UI scrolls beyond the work area and identifies these test objects during playback.
      - Lesson 2: Identifying GEF palette objects
        In this lesson, you will observe how HCL DevOps Test UI (Test UI) identifies the Graphical Editing Framework (GEF) palette objects and displays them as tree items in the script. You can use any of the GEF palette features to create the GEF objects. In this lesson, the zoom palette feature is being used.
      - Lesson 3: Configure object recognition properties
        In this lesson, you will see how to customize object recognition properties in the object library before you record scripts. Customizing the object recognition properties helps make the script resilient to changes in the application under test.
    - 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).
