About Robot Support for PowerBuilder Applications
Rational Robot provides comprehensive support for testing 32-bit applications built
with PowerBuilder 5.0 through 7.0. Robot supports the testing of applications that
you migrate from one PowerBuilder version to another and allows for the reuse of
scripts between Windows NT 4.0, Windows Me, Windows 2000, and Windows 98.
With its Object Testing technology, Robot examines data and properties that are not
visible to the user. Robot uses Object-Oriented Recording to recognize a
PowerBuilder object by its internal name.
