Enabling IDE Applications for Testing
created in many integrated development environments (IDEs).
Visual Basic 4.0 applications, you need to enable the applications as follows before
you start recording your scripts:
Enabler to have it add the Rational Test Object Testing Library and three
triggers to the .fmb files of the application. For information, see Chapter 12,
Testing Oracle Forms Applications.
button to start Internet Explorer or Netscape Navigator from Robot. This loads
the Rational ActiveX Test Control, which lets Robot recognize Web-based
objects. For information, see Chapter 13, Testing HTML Applications.
environments such as Web browsers and Sun JDK installations that Robot
supports. The Java Enabler only enables those environments that are currently
installed. For information, see Chapter 14, Testing Java Applets and Applications.
install the Rational ActiveX Test Control. This is a small, non-intrusive custom
control that acts as a gateway between Robot and your application. It has no
impact on the behavior or performance of your application and is not visible at
runtime. Manually add the ActiveX Test Control to each OLE container
(Window) in your application. For instructions, see the documentation that
comes with your C/C++ development environment.
Enabler to Visual Basic as an add-in. Have the Enabler add the Rational ActiveX
Test Control to every form in the application. This is a small, non-intrusive
custom control that acts as a gateway between Robot and your application. For
information, see Visual Basic support, making Visual Basic applications testable in the
Robot Help Index.
Test Delphi Enabler. Run the Enabler, then recompile your project to make it
Delphi testable. For information, see Chapter 17, Testing Delphi Applications.
