Rational Robot

IBM Rational® Robot v2003 automates regression, functional and configuration testing for e-commerce, client/server and ERP applications. It's used to test applications based upon a wide variety of user interface technologies, and is integrated with the IBM Rational® TestManager® solution to provide desktop management support for all testing activities.

• Simplifies configuration testing - Rational Robot can be used to distribute functional testing among many machines, each one configured differently. The same functional tests can be run simultaneously, shortening the time to identify problems with specific configurations.
• Tests many types of applications - Rational Robot supports a wide range of environments and languages, including HTML and DHTML, Java™, VS.NET, Microsoft Visual Basic and Visual C++, Oracle Developer/2000, PeopleSoft, Sybase PowerBuilder and Borland Delphi. For advanced testing of Java. VS.NET and Web-based applications, as well as of 3270 (zSeries™) and 5250 (iSeries™) terminal-based applications, see IBM Rational Functional Tester.
• Ensures testing depth - Tests beyond an application's UI to the hundreds of properties of an application's component objects - such as ActiveX Controls, OCXs, Java applets and many more - with just the click of a mouse.
• Tests custom controls and objects - Rational Robot allows you to test each application component under varying conditions and provides test cases for menus, lists, alphanumeric characters, bitmaps and many more objects.
• Provides an integrated programming environment - Rational Robot generates test scripts in SQABasic, an integrated MDI scripting environment that allows you to view and edit your test script while you are recording.
• Helps you analyze problems quickly - Rational Robot automatically logs test results into the integrated Rational Repository, and color codes them for quick visual analysis. By double-clicking on an entry, you are brought directly to the corresponding line in your test script, thereby ensuring fast analysis and correction of test script errors.
• Enables reuse - Rational Robot ensures that the same test script, without any modification, can be reused to test an application running on Microsoft Windows XP, Windows ME, Windows 2003, Windows 2000, Windows 98 or Windows NT.
