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 OneTest™ UI.
Test GEF applications
The movies in this tutorial show you how to use HCL OneTest™ UI to test applications that are based on the Graphical Editing Framework (GEF). It also shows how HCL OneTest UI works with GEF objects.
Module 2: Applying HCL OneTest™ UI capabilities to GEF objects
In this module, you see how HCL OneTest™ UI capabilities are applied to Graphical Editing Framework (GEF) objects. HCL OneTest 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.

    In this tutorial, you will learn how to create a data-driven functional test using the HCL OneTest™ UI data-driven test wizard.
  - Test Adobe Flex application
    This tutorial walks you through the steps to enable your Adobe Flex application, and test the enabled Flex application from a local test computer using HCL OneTest™ UI. The steps are based on the roles that Flex developers and testers perform.
  - Test GEF applications
    The movies in this tutorial show you how to use HCL OneTest™ UI to test applications that are based on the Graphical Editing Framework (GEF). It also shows how HCL OneTest UI works with GEF objects.
    - Introduction: Test GEF applications
      This tutorial is designed for HCL OneTest™ 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 HCL OneTest 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 OneTest™ UI recognizes the GEF edit parts in the application under test.
    - Module 2: Applying HCL OneTest™ UI capabilities to GEF objects
      In this module, you see how HCL OneTest™ UI capabilities are applied to Graphical Editing Framework (GEF) objects. HCL OneTest 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 OneTest™ 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, HCL OneTest 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. HCL OneTest 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 OneTest™ 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 OneTest™ UI.
  - Extend HCL OneTest™ UI capabilities using Proxy SDK
    The movies in this tutorial show you how to extend the HCL OneTest™ UI proxies using the proxy SDK.
- Tutorials for testing in the Visual Studio IDE
  HCL OneTest™ UI tutorials contain educational materials to help you learn the technologies and concepts behind products.
