&text1=<BR> <p>Welcome! This tour is a quick overview of the Functional Test feature of the IBM Rational Functional Tester offering.</p>&
&text2=<BR><BR><BR><BR> <p>Functional Test is an automated testing tool for Java, HTML, VB.NET, and Windows applications that run on Windows or Linux.</p>&
&text3=<BR><BR><BR> <p>Functional Test records user actions to create test scripts. It supports two scripting languages.</p> <p>One is Java on the IBM Rational Software Development Platform.</p>&
&text4=<BR><BR><BR> <p>The other scripting language is VB.NET on the Microsoft Visual Studio.NET Platform.</p>&
&text5=<BR> <p>The next few slides preview Functional Test's most important features, beginning with the Recording Monitor. The Recording Monitor displays a message for each action as you do it.</p>&
&text6=<BR> <p>While recording, you can create verification points. Verification points establish baseline information about objects in your application. This information is compared with the information found in the application when it is played back.</p>&
&text7=<BR><BR><BR><BR> <p align = "center">After you finish recording, Functional Test displays the new test script.</p>&
&text8=<BR><BR> <p>Functional Test uses a test object map to represent graphical objects that appear in the application-under-test.</p>&
&text9=<BR><BR> <p>Use the object map editor to control how a test script interprets information about its test objects.</p>&
&text10=<BR><BR><BR><BR><BR> <p>Data-driven testing uses data from an external file as input to a test. Because data is separated from the test script, you can modify and share the test data without affecting the test script.</p>&
&text11=<BR><BR><BR><BR> <p align="center">After you play back a script, a log is displayed.</p>&
&text12=<p>You can share your scripts and other test assets with your teammates using IBM Rational ClearCase.</p>&
&text13=<p>Functional Test has an extensive online help system, including a user guide, an API reference, several tutorials, and samples.</p>&
&text14=<BR> <p>Your next step is to explore the Welcome page to learn how to make the most of Functional Test. Enjoy!</p>&
