Diagnostic Tool Options
Robot supports the use of the Rational diagnostic tools to perform runtime error
checking, profile application performance, and to analyze code coverage during
playback of a Robot script. For information about these options, see Collecting
Diagnostic Information During Playback
on page 1-12.
NOTE: Since Rational Administrator no longer supports Windows 98 and
Windows Me, you must connect to a remote test datastore when using Robot
to record a script on either of these two platforms. Use the Browse button on
the Robot Test Login dialog box to select the location of the Rational project
file.
