Main Description
### Overview Rational Functional Tester Extension for Terminal-based Applications (FTE) is used to automate the testing of MVS, VM, OS/400 and Unix host applications. This tool mentor assumes you have installed the Rational Functional Tester Extension and have some familiarity with Rational Functional Tester (RFT). You may want to create a host test script that does not login to the host; for example, for security reasons. This tool mentor describes how to create a script from a non-login screen; that is, a script that is intended to run after the connection to the host has been established. #### Tool Steps Begin the script creation by launching FTE from a Rational Functional Tester project outside of recording a test script. Enter your host connection parameters and connect to the host system. Once the connection is successful, login to your host system. Navigate to the first screen you want to test. With the FTE window still open, start recording a script within Rational Functional Tester by pressing the "Record a Functional Test Script" button. Next, place the focus on the FTE window and perform the host actions you want to test. Logoff from the host and close the FTE window. You may now stop recording of the script. To run the script, launch FTE again. Start a connection to the same host, log into your host system, and navigate to the screen where the script starts. You may now run the script.
