Exporting Test Log Details to Third-Party Tools
TestManager also allows you to export Rational test log details using the Rational Test
Asset Parcel file format (.RTPAR). In the case of log details, the parcel file describes
each log event associated with the test, unless filtered at the time of export. Once
exported, test log details can be rendered by third-party applications for further
evaluation.
TestManager allows you to filter numerous properties when exporting test log details,
including, but not limited to, details regarding test start and end time, the test
executable, test scripts, virtual testers, synchronization points, timers, and so on.
Note:
Rational strongly recommends judicious filtering of test log properties to
export, as the data exported in its entirety is huge and can be difficult to manage.
To export test asset details for evaluation by other applications:
s
Right-click a test result to export from the
Results
tab and select
Export Log Details
.
Note:
For detailed procedures, see the TestManager Help.
Exporting Manual Test Scripts
Rational also allows you to export manual test scripts from Rational ManualTest to a
simple text file.
To export a manual test script from ManualTest to a text file:
s
Click

>

>

.
Note:
For detailed procedures, see the Rational ManualTest Help.
Importing Test Assets
TestManager allows you to import test assets using the Rational Test Asset Parcel file
format (.RTPAR) as long as the content of the file conforms to the established format
and the Rational document type definition (DTD) can validate the file. Rational also
allows you to import manual test scripts into Rational ManualTest from either an
existing test datastore or from a simple text file.
