Certification Preparation for IBM Rational Robot

Certification Preparation for IBM Rational Robot
Course Code : CTCRR811 Source : CresTech Course Length : 2 days


This 3-day class combines the Rational basic course with Rational expert-level course into an intensive session designed to accelerate your learning of this tool.

The introductory module is designed to familiarize testing professionals with the basics of Rational's functional test automation tool, Rational Robot. Students will be provided with hands-on instruction, from simple record/playback techniques to advanced test scripting concepts. Rational TestManager will be used to organize and process test results to facilitate data analysis. The focus will be on applying Rational Robot to resolve common automated testing challenges and to build effective, versatile test scripts through best practices and savvy usage of SQABasic code. At the conclusion of this module, principles learned will be applied to a .NET-based sample application.

The advanced module is designed to give students a foundation in the SQABasic scripting language and automated testing techniques. Learn to create test scripts that are more robust, durable and easier to maintain. This module includes lecture, workbook exercises and labs.

Intended Audience

New Rational Robot, TeamTest, TestStudio, or Enterprise users. The principles taught in this course apply to all environments that Robot supports. The course is designed primarily for Quality Assurance professionals who will be using the automation tools.
The audience might also include QA practitioners, managers, or team leaders who are responsible for interacting with testers or who need to ensure that tools are being implemented fully and appropriately.
Course Objectives

At the end of the course, you will be able to:

Describe the function and purpose of Rational Robot
Navigate the Rational Robot interface
Apply good scripting practices
Record and play back automated scripts
Use Verification Points in an appropriate context
Modify scripts to extend test capability and reduce script maintenance
Create data-driven tests
The advanced module will:

Familiarize students with advanced concepts of IBM Rational's test automation tool.
Enhance students' knowledge of SQABasic as used for automated testing.
Teach how to create test scripts that evaluate a broad range of application functionality, and provide students with the ability to implement with the tool successfully.
