IBM RFT

You can run Silk Mobile scripts from IBM Rational (RFT). To do so, perform the following steps:

Step 1: Create a new Functional Test Project

Step 2: Set the project classpath:

1. Open the project properties (right-click on the project)

2. Select 'Java Build Path' and then the 'Libraries' tab:

   

3. Click on 'Add External JARs…

4. In the Silk Mobile installation directory under client\java select all the JARs ( C:\Program Files\Silk\SilkMobile)

   

Step 3: Create Helper Superclass:

1. Go to File -> New -> Helper Superclass

   

2. Name the Superclass Silk Mobile Script and put it under a folder named 'mobile':

   

3. Paste the code found under client\RFT\SeeTestScript.java file into the new Superclass

4. Change the name of the first package from 'Resources' to the 'mobile'.

Step 4: Create a new Test

1. Right-click on the test folder and select 'Add Empty Script', set the script name and click Next.

   

2. Set the 'Helper Superclass' to the new superclass:

   

Step 5: Export code and Run script

1. In Silk Mobile select 'RFT' as the code export environment and copy the script code:

   

2. In RFT, in the newly created script right-click and select 'Insert Java Code Snippet'. You can set the name of the snippet

   

3. Save the script.

4. In the new script move to the 'Java' tab and paste the Silk Mobile-generated code into the ‘Add your code here’ location.

   

5. Now you can run the test from RFT.

Step 6: After the execution finishes you should see the RFT html log with the Silk Mobile commands information:
