What's A synchronization point?
A synchronization point lets you coordinate the activities of a number of virtual
testers by pausing the execution of each tester at a particular point
Why Use Synchronization Points?
By synchronizing virtual testers to perform the same activity at the same time, you
can make that activity occur at some particular point of interest in your test.
Typically, synchronization points that you insert into scripts are used in conjunction
with timers to determine the effect of varying workload on the timed activity.
How to inserting Synchronization Points?
You can insert a synchronization point into a script (through Robot) or into a suite
(through TestManager).
1. Into a script, you can insert a synchronization point into a script in one of the
following ways:
. During recording, through the Sync Point toolbar button or through the
Insert menu.
. During script editing, by manually typing the synchronization point
command name into the script.
2. Into a suite, you can insert a synchronization point into a suite through the
TestManager Synchronization Point dialog box.
Why Restore the Test Environment Before Playback?
The state of the Windows environment as well as your application-under-test can
affect script playback. If there are differences between the recorded environment
and the playback environment, playback problems can occur.
How to set GUI playback options?
. Open the GUI Playback Options dialog box by doing one of the following:
. Before you start playback, click Tools > GUI Playback Options.
. Start playback by clicking the Playback Script button on the toolbar. In the
Playback dialog box, click Options.
How to setting Log Options for Playback?
- Open the GUI Playback Options dialog box.
- Click the Log tab.
- To output the playback results to the log so you can view them, select Output
playback results to log.
- To have the log appear automatically after playback is complete, select View log
after playback.
If you clear this, you can still view the log after playback by clicking Tools >
Rational Test > TestManager, and then opening the log.
- To have Robot prompt you before it overwrites a log, select Prompt before
overwrite log.
- Click one of the following:
Specify log information at playback , displays the Specify Log
Information dialog box so that you can specify the build, log folder, and log.
Use default log information At playback, uses the same build and log folder
that was used during the last playback. Uses the script name as the log name.
- Click OK or change other options.
