The video primarily discusses automation principles and tools, focusing on Rational Functional Tester (RFT) used for scripting and recording applications. The presenter introduces how scripts are generated, object recognition, and object-oriented programming, including the creation and use of predefined and custom objects through inheritance. They emphasize configuring new project environments in RFT, highlighting important features, defaults, and element additions necessary for effective project management. Essential steps include enabling plugins and configuring applications for testing, covering various types like HTML, Java, and executable files, along with ensuring proper licensing and environment compatibility. Specific issues such as configuring Java Runtime Environment, browser compatibility, and ActiveX controls are addressed, underscoring the need to adapt to different technologies and system requirements. Overall, the video's themes center on setting up, configuring, and troubleshooting automation tools to optimize application testing environments.

In this part of the video, the discussion begins with a brief review of what was covered previously, focusing on principles of automation. The presenter highlights that most automation tools operate on these principles. The main topic covered today includes the first step in rational functions for scripts, especially within applications for axes recording. Key points include understanding how scripts are generated, different types of recording modes, and object recognition, which is crucial for automation. There’s also a brief explanation of object-oriented programming, detailing objects, attributes, actions, and technologies involved in standard objects.

In this part of the video, the speaker discusses predefined and custom objects in technology, emphasizing the use of drag-and-drop tools (referred to as a toolbar) for standard objects. The speaker explains that developers often need to create custom objects using predefined classes, which vary by technology. This process involves inheritance, where developers copy and link existing classes to form new ones. The speaker also touches on the history of automation tools, noting that tools have base languages, such as Java for RFC, allowing them to recognize and document applications developed in those languages effectively. The session is recorded, and viewers are encouraged to ask questions via chat.

In this part of the video, the speaker addresses audience questions and outlines the process of setting up a new project environment after installing FD one. He explains how to create new projects instead of using existing ones and highlights various elements that can be added to the project, such as functional test clips, empty values, folders, data pools, test objects, and maps. Additionally, he mentions the importance of proper project management and provides guidance for users preparing for RST certification, including noting key details needed for certification.

In this segment of the video, the speaker demonstrates creating a new functional test project. They emphasize the importance of understanding which features and defaults are enabled, as these are critical for certification. They proceed to set the project location, explaining that it often points to either a local directory or a configuration management system in larger, multi-user environments. After finalizing the project creation, the speaker closes existing elements to start fresh and highlight the initial configuration stage. The first task is configuring the project through the “contribute” button, which is necessary to invoke certain applications within the Rational Functional Tester.

In this segment, the video discusses the process of configuring applications for testing. It emphasizes ensuring that all plugins are enabled to recognize objects during the recording. The presenter illustrates how to add new applications, listing types such as HTML, executable, bat files, and flex applications. It highlights the need for appropriate licensing for certain applications and explains the importance of the presentation layer in HTML applications. The segment also gives insights on configuring different application types, like Java and web applications, and addresses potential issues with URL configurations.

In this segment of the video, the speaker addresses an issue related to installing the Java Runtime Environment and demonstrates the resulting error. They explain the process of adding applications to Rational Functional Tester using an application configuration tool. This tool helps in adding and configuring applications by selecting the appropriate technology, which is necessary for real-time use. The speaker successfully places a calculator executable file into the system as an example and goes through the necessary configurations to ensure it is recognized by the testing environment. Additionally, they highlight the importance of configuring the application correctly to avoid initial access issues when using Rational Functional Tester directly.
00:18:00
In this part of the video, the speaker discusses enabling ActiveX controls to allow access to their application. They mention needing to address a diagnostic code error related to the browser, which fails to enable it. The speaker notes potential issues with a Java Runtime environment (JVM) and the necessity of ensuring it matches the required version. Furthermore, the speaker highlights browser compatibility, particularly noting differences between Firefox and Internet Explorer, and indicates that Chrome can also be added. They emphasize the importance of verifying system compatibility with the operating system to resolve any issues.
