Rational Rose
26. What are the technologies and
environments do the rational rose
supports?
Ans: It supports COM/DCOM (ActiveX),
JavaBeans, and CORBA
component standards.
27. What is the purpose of comparators in
analyzing the results?
Ans: purpose of comparator is analysing
the result of verification point
.comparator compares the result of
baseline verification point data
against the actual verification point
data.
28. What is the purpose of the wait state?
What is the use of Global.sbl file in
Rational?
Ans: Robot provides lobal.sbl file for the
convenience of the users. It a blank
library source files. You can add
procedures to it or make your own
wait statement is used to wait the
application for that particular period
of time and that will move of later for
example wait(20), means this
statement will wait for 20 sec and it
will move from that statement
29. Symbol for comments in Rational?
Ans: " ' "........a "singe quote"...... ( " ' " ) is
used to comment statements in
Rational Robot script. By placing a

30. Purpose of inserting delay values in the
scripts of Rational?
Ans: Wait values are useful when the
application requires an unknown
amount of time to complete a task.
Testingjobz.com
QBank Page No:4
Using a wait value keeps the
verification point from failing if the
task is not completed or if the data
is not accessible right away.
31. What is the purpose of comparators in
analyzing the results?
Ans: purpose of comparator is analysing
the result of verification point
.comparator compares the result of
baseline verification point data
against the actual verification point
data.
32. Explain user defined data type with an
example..?
Ans: user must create the data type if none
of the standard data types contains
the kind of values that user want
to supply. For example user need
a database column named COLOR &
the values should be red, blue,
green, yellow, etc .but in predefined
data type there is no such data
type. So we have to create a user
defined data type named color &have
predefined values RED, BLUE,
GREEN.
1) To create user defined data type in
rational robot in Test
Manager>>click Tools>>manage
data types.
2) Click new.
3) Type name (color) &
description>>click ok
4) Click yes when prompted to enter
new data values now. Insert red,
green, and yellow, blue
5) Click save
33. What is the use of Global.sbl file in
Rational?
Robot provides lobal.sbl file for the
convenience of the users. It a blank
library source files. You can add
procedures to it or make your own
34. What is the difference between rational
rose and QTP?
Ans: Quick test professional is a powerful
functional testing tool. Its very user
friendly interface tool. It mainly fast
tests creation, easier maintenance,
and more powerful data-driving
capability. Identifies objects with

Unique Smart Object Recognition,
even if they change from build to
build, enabling reliable unattended
script execution. Rational robot deals
with functional and performance
testing,
35. What is the difference between Rational
Rose and UML?
Ans: The UML is the Unified Modeling
Language. It is a collection of
diagrams, terms, profiles, etc. that one
uses to design and develop complex
systems and software. The UML is
controlled by a standards
organization, the Object Management
Group (OMG). The current version of
the UML is 2.1.
IBM Rational Rose is one of many
tools for building UML models. The
problem with Rose is that it stopped
with version 1.5 of the UML. There
were some follow-on products
(Rational refers to them as RSx).
Depending on what you are doing,
there are other tools that may be
better for your job. For example, if you
are trying to design a complex system
or trying to build a real time or
embedded application, you should use
Rational's Rhapsody (IBM bought
Telelogic this year, so Rhapsody is
now under the Rational banner, but
not all sales people know that).
Rhapsody has two main advantages
over Rose. First, Rhapsody generates
complete application code from class
diagrams, state charts, activity
diagrams and flow charts. The code it
generates (C, C++, Java, and I think
Ada) is very tight, easy to read and
debug, and looks like the code you'd
write by hand. Second, Rhapsody
supports UML 2.1, so you get ports,
structured classes, and other useful
extensions.
36. Where the data pool values are stored?
Ans: Data pool values are stored in text file
with .CSV extension

QBank Page No:5
37. How do you analyze results after
playback?
Ans: Test manager opens the result
window with appropriate comparator.
38. What is purpose of Rational
Administrator?
Ans: Rational Administrator is a tool for
managing associations between
rational artifacts such as test data
stores, requisite pro projects, clear
quest databases and rose models.
With the help of rational administrator
we can: Create and manage rational
projects. Create and maintain users
and groups. Upgrade project assets
such as requisite pro databases and
test data stores. Enable a rational
project for use with unified change
management.
39. Where the data pool column names are
stored?
Ans: In data pool specification (.spc) file
40. What is Data pool?
Ans: Data pool is test data that supply data
values to the variable in script during
playback. Data pool values are stored
in file with .CSV extension. Data pool
columns name are stored in
specification file with .spc extension.
Data pools are mainly created to run
the script multiple times without
interruption.
41. How many verification points are there
in Robot and what are they?
Ans: There are 13 verification points in
rational robot they are XML, text,
menu, object data, object properties,
clip points, window exist, window
scan, file exist, file scan, website scan
, website exist and some other.
Probably there are some changes in
this list.
42. When does a plug-in get started?
Ans: Each plug-in can be viewed as having
a declarative section and a code
section. The declarative part is
contained in the plug-in.xml file. This
file is loaded into a registry when the
platform starts up and so is always
available, regardless of whether a
Quality Center & Rational Rose Questions & Answers

plug-in has started. The code section
is laze loaded by default. They are
activated only when their functionality
has been explicitly invoked by the
user.
43. How to config a plug-in to start
automatically during platform starts up?
Ans: Define the 'Eclipse-AutoStart=true'
header in Manifest file.
44. What are extensions and extension
points?
Ans: Loose coupling in Eclipse is achieved
partially through the mechanism of
extensions and extension points.
When a plug-in wants to allow other
plug-ins to extend or customize
portions of its functionality, it will
declare an extension point. The
extension point declares a typically a
combination of XML markup and Java
interfaces, that extensions must
conform to. Plug-ins that wants to
connect to that extension point must
implement that contract in their
extension.
The key attribute is that the plug-in
being extended knows nothing about
the plug-in that is connecting to it
beyond the scope of that extension
point contract. This allows plug-ins
built by different individuals or
companies to interact seamlessly,
even without their knowing much
about one another.
45. What is the class path of a plug-in?
Ans: The OSGi parent class loader. (Java
boot class loader by default); the
exported libraries of all imported plug-
ins; the declared libraries of the plug-
in and all its fragments.
46. How to access UI objects from a non-ui
thread?
Ans: Use Display.getDefault ().asyncExec
(new Runnable()...)
Display.asyncExec causes the run()
method of the runnable to be invoked
by the user-interface thread at the
next reasonable opportunity. The
caller of this method continues to run
Testingjobz.com
QBank Page No:6
in parallel, and is not notified when the
runnable has completed.
47. Do we need to explicitly invoke
org.eclipse.swt.graphics.Image.dispose()?
Ans: Application code must explicitly invoke
the Image.dispose() method to
release the operating system
resources managed by each instance
when those instances are no longer
required. This is because that the
Java finalization is too weak to reliably
support management of operating
system resources.
48. How to fire a key event in my test code
to make the program act as if a user
pressed a key?
Ans: Two ways to implement it in code:
generating OS level key event use
Display. Post (Event) or use
Widge.notifyListeners(...) to just notify
a widget's listeners
49. What is a Rational Rose?
Ans: Rational Rose is a tool/editor which
can is used for designing purposes
,mainly for object oriented concepts,
like u can draw class diagrams,
sequence diagrams, static structures,
block diagrams etc etc, the basic
architecture of a project.
50. What is the use of Rational
Administrator?
Ans: Use the Rational Administrator to:
1. create and manage projects.
2. Create a project under configuration
management.
3. Create a project outside of
configuration management.
4. Connect to a project.
5. See projects that are not on your
machine (register a project)
6. Delete a project.
7. Create and manage users and
groups for a Rational Test data store.
8. Create and manage projects
containing Rational Requisite Pro
Projects and Rational Rose models.
9. Manage security privileges for the
entire rational project.
10. Configure a SQL anywhere
database server.
