Certification Preparation for IBM Rational Robot - Test 641

This program combines of the Rational fundamental program with Rational expert level program into rigorous session created to speed up learning of this equipment.

The preliminary semester is developed to publicize testing professionals with the fundamentals of Rational's functional test mechanization equipment, Rational Robot. Candidates will be offered with hand on instructions, from easy record or playback methods to superior test scripting concept. Rational Test Manager will be utilized to organize & process test outcomes to assist data analysis. The target will be on applying Rational Robot to determine general automated testing challenge & building effectual, versatile test script via greatest practices & ability for usage of S.Q.A. Basic coding. At the end of this semester, principles studied will be applied to a .NET based sample applications.

The highly developed semester is created to impart candidates a foundation in the SQA Basic scripting language & automated testing methods. Learn to make finest test scripts that are more vigorous, tough and easy to uphold. This semester includes lectures, workbook-exercises & labs.

The proposed audience of the program is as follows:

• New Rational Robot, Team Test, Test Studio, or Enterprise users. The main beliefs taught in this program pertain to all surroundings that Robot supports. The program is developed chiefly for Quality-Assurance professionals who will be making use of the automation equipments.
• The spectators might also comprise Q.A. practitioner, manager, or team-leaders who are accountable for interacting with testers or who require to guarantee that equipments are being implemented fully & appropriately.


The main aim of the program is as follows:

• Describing the functions and purposes of Rational-Robot
• Navigating the Rational Robot interfaces
• Applying excellent scripting practice
• Record & play-back automated script
• Usage of Verification Points in the suitable context
• Modifying scripts to expand test capability & decrease script maintenances
• Creating data driven tests


The higher level semester will:

• Make acquainted candidates with superior concepts of I.B.M. Rational's test automation equipment.
• Enhancing candidates’ information of SQA Basic as utilized for automated testing.
• Teach the ways to make test scripts that assess a wide range of applications, functionality & provides the candidates with the aptitude to execute with the tool effectively.
