IBM Rational Integration Tester (RIT) - Usage
Use the Rational Integration Tester plug-in to continuously initiate integration tests from IBM UrbanCode Deploy.
Before you begin
- Install the UrbanCode Deploy server. For more information, see the installing topics in the UrbanCode Deploy documentation.
- Install the Rational Integration Tester plug-in on the UrbanCode Deploy server. For details, see Installing plug-ins.
- Install the UrbanCode Deploy agent and connect it to the UrbanCode Deploy server. For additional information,see the UrbanCode Deploy documentation.
- Install Rational Integration Tester on the UrbanCode Deploy agent computer and apply a valid license. For additional information, see Installing IBM Rational Integration Tester.
About the task
As a tester, you might have a large number of integration tests to run against the latest builds of a software system. Instead of manually running the tests against every new build, you can install the latest build on an IBM UrbanCode Deploy Agent computer and let it automatically start the tests for you.
After deploying the Rational Integration Tester plug-in on the UrbanCode Deploy server, create the following elements:
- Component and its processes
- Applications and its processes
- Environments
- Resources
For information about how to create and configure UrbanCode Deploy elements, see UrbanCode Deploydocumentation.
Example: Running integration tests
After deployment, the Rational Integration Tester plug-in is available at Rational Test Workbench > Rational Integration Tester > Run Integration Test on the UrbanCode Deploy server. The plug-in for Rational Integration Tester includes a single step: Run Integration Tests. The component process runs tests that are part of a Rational Integration Tester project previously stored on an UrbanCode Deploy agent.
To create a workflow, complete the following tasks:
- Click the component process for which the Run RIT Test step is to be added. The Tools view displays the available plug-in steps.
- From Rational Integration Tester, drag the Run RIT Test step into the design space.
- Specify the properties for the step. For property details, see the Steps page in this document.
- After configuring the properties, save the step.
