Scripts and libraries - Introduction
Scripts
A script within Rational Robot is a file that contains a sequence of SQABasic code. The
extension of the file is always “.REC”. Typically the script contains an automated testcase
and contains the business-logic and also the testdata. Although it is generally
recommended to shift testcase-logic and especially testdata to external sources such as
CSV or Excel it is NOT designed to do so today because this technique requires an
underlying sophisticated automated test framework that we do not have implemented at
this level of automation yet.
Libraries
Common used functions are placed in libraries. These are located in the SQABas32
subdirectory of the Robot working directory. A library is divided into three files, a header
(.SBH), an implementation file (.SBL) and the compiled version (.SBX). Libraries are not
necessarily bound to an AUT or feature.
