1 :: What Is Rational Robot?
Rational Robot is a complete set of components for automating the testing of Microsoft Windows client/server and Internet applications.
The main component of Robot lets you start recording tests in as few as two mouse clicks. After recording, Robot plays back the tests in a fraction of the time it would take to repeat the actions manually.

2 :: How to create a verification point?
1. Do one of the following:
. If recording, click the Display GUI Insert Toolbar button on the GUI Record toolbar.
. If editing, position the pointer in the script and click the Display GUI Insert Toolbar button on the Standard toolbar.
2. Click a verification point button on the GUI Insert toolbar.
3. In the Verification Point Name dialog box, edit the name as appropriate. The name can be a maximum of 20 characters.
4. Optionally, set the Wait state options. For information, see the next section, Setting a Wait State for a Verification Point.
5. Optionally, set the Expected result option.
6. Click OK.

3 :: What is A verification point?
A verification point is a point in a script that you create to confirm the state of an object across builds of the application-under-test.
4 :: How to analyz results in the log and comparators?
You use TestManager to view the logs that are created when you run scripts and schedules.
Use the log to:
--View the results of running a script, including verification point failures, procedural failures, aborts, and any additional playback information. Reviewing the results in the log reveals whether each script and verification point passed or failed.
Use the Comparators to:
--Analyze the results of verification points to determine why a script may have failed. Robot includes four Comparators:
.Object Properties Comparator
.Text Comparator
.Grid Comparator
.Image C omparator

5 :: What is datapool?
A datapool is a source of variable test data that scripts can draw from during playback.
6 :: What is Rational Administrator?
Use the Rational Administrator to:
* create and manage projects.
* Create a project under configuration management.
* Create a project outside of configuration management.
* Connect to a project.
* See projects that are not on your machine (register a project).
* Delete a project.
* Create and manage users and groups for a Rational Test datastore.
* Create and manage projects containing Rational RequisitePro projects and Rational Rose models.
* Manage security privileges for the entire Rational project.
* Configure a SQL Anywhere database server.
* create and manage projects.
* Create a project under configuration management.
* Create a project outside of configuration management.
* Connect to a project.
* See projects that are not on your machine (register a project).
* Delete a project.
* Create and manage users and groups for a Rational Test datastore.
* Create and manage projects containing Rational RequisitePro projects and Rational Rose models.
* Manage security privileges for the entire Rational project.
* Configure a SQL Anywhere database server.
7 :: What is TestFactory?
Rational TestFactory is a component-based testing tool that automatically generates TestFactory scripts according to the application’s navigational structure. TestFactory is integrated with Robot and its components to provide a full array of tools for team testing under Windows NT 4.0, Windows 2000, Windows 98, and Windows 95.
With TestFactory, you can:
--Automatically create and maintain a detailed map of the application-under-test.
--Automatically generate both scripts that provide extensive product coverage and scripts that encounter defects, without recording.
--Track executed and unexecuted source code, and report its detailed findings.
--Shorten the product testing cycle by minimizing the time invested in writing navigation code.
--Play back Robot scripts in TestFactory to see extended code coverage information and to create regression suites; play back TestFactory scripts in Robot to debug them.
