Administrator Guide
This guide describes how to install Rational® Integration Tester. After you install the software, you can perform administration tasks such as configuration and integration of the product. This guide is intended for administrators.
- Installation of Rational® Integration Tester
  You can find information about installing IBM® Rational® Integration Tester from the IBM Rational Test Workbench or IBM Rational Integration Tester package.
- Installation of Rational® Test Control Panel
  You can find information about installing IBM® Rational® Test Control Panel from the IBM Rational Test Workbench, IBM Rational Test Virtualization Server, or IBM Rational Performance Test Server package.
- Configuring Rational® Integration Tester
- Administering Rational® Test Control Panel
  IBM® Rational® Test Control Panel is a server-based web application providing a central repository for virtualized services. The Rational Test Control Panel allows you to use virtual services published with Rational Integration Tester to create, share, and deploy virtualized test environments in IBM Rational Test Virtualization Server.
- Integrating
  Rational® Integration Tester supports integration with various other tools for quality management, change management, software configuration management, and deployment automation tools such as UrbanCode™ Deploy.
  - Rational® Integration Tester and Apache Maven
    Apache Maven is a software build tool that is based on the concept of a Project Object Model (POM). You can use the Maven plug-in that is provided for Rational® Integration Tester to run integration tests and test suites as part of your Maven build.
  - Integration with Azure DevOps
    When you use Azure DevOps for continuous integration and continuous deployment of your application, you can create tests for your application in Rational® Integration Tester and run those tests in Azure DevOps pipelines. You can integrate Azure DevOps with Rational Integration Tester by using the IBM Rational Test Workbench extension that is available in the Visual Studio Marketplace portal.
  - Rational® Integration Tester and change management tools
    Rational® Integration Tester can be integrated with the OSLC-compliant Change Management Integration Providers such as Rational Team Concert™. It can also be integrated with Team Foundation Server Change Management Integration Providers (such as Microsoft™ Team Foundation Server), and Atlassian Jira. After integration, defects and projects can be tracked directly through Rational Team Concert.
  - Rational® Integration Tester and Git
    The Git integration feature provides a flexible test asset management method to track, back up, and collaborate on a project with multiple users. Collaborators in Git can import projects and test assets from shared repositories into IBM® Rational® Integration Tester and contribute their own assets and changes to the project so that everyone has access to the changes.
  - Rational® Integration Tester and HP Quality Center
    The Rational® Integration Tester add-in for HP Quality Center provides a way to integrate the powerful test creation and execution functionality of Rational Integration Tester with the organizational structures provided by Quality Center.
  - Rational® Integration Tester and IBM® Engineering Test Management
    When you integrate Rational® Integration Tester with Engineering Test Management, you can run Rational Integration Tester tests and suites in the centralized test management environment of Engineering Test Management.
  - Rational® Integration Tester and Rational® Quality Manager
    The integration of Rational® Integration Tester with IBM® Rational Quality Manager enables the execution of Rational Integration Tester tests and suites in Rational Quality Manager centralized test management environment.
  - Integration with Rational Software Architect Designer
    With Rational® Software Architect Designer, you can design an organization's services, which include technical description, technical documentation, and links to other technical documentation. As a tester, you can pull this information into Rational Integration Tester by using a WSDL or WADL add operation and populate the Architecture School quickly and accurately. Rational Integration Tester parses the added documents in a way that you can directly use them in your testing.
  - Rational® Integration Tester and Jenkins
    When you use Jenkins for the continuous integration (CI) of your application, you can run tests for testing your application. You can run tests created in Rational® Integration Tester for your application in Jenkins by using the Integration Tester Jenkins plugin.
  - Rational Integration Tester and UrbanCode Deploy
    When you use UrbanCode™ Deploy (UCD) for automating application deployments of your application, you can run tests created for your application that are created in Rational® Integration Tester. You can run the tests from UCD by using the UCD plugin for Rational Integration Tester or the UCD plugin for Rational Test Virtualization Server
  - Rational® Test Virtualization Server with Engineering Test Management
    You can implement Rational® Test Virtualization Server in Engineering Test Management integrated with Rational Test Virtualization Server by using Rational Test Control Panel.
  - Rational® Test Virtualization Server with Rational® Quality Manager
    You can implement Rational® Test Virtualization Server in Rational Quality Manager integrated with Rational Test Virtualization Server by using Rational Test Control Panel.
    - Integration with Rational Quality Manager
      You can deploy virtual services while you are running tests in IBM® Rational® Quality Manager by integrating it with Rational Test Virtualization Server. The integration is accomplished by using Rational Test Control Panel.
    - Deploying virtual services
      When Rational® Quality Manager is integrated with Rational Test Virtualization Server, you can deploy virtual services by using Rational Test Control Panel while running tests.

Rational® Test Virtualization Server and Rational® Quality Manager

You can implement Rational® Test Virtualization Server in Rational® Quality Manager integrated with Rational® Test Virtualization Server by using Rational® Test Control Panel.

You can use Rational® Test Virtualization Server to deploy virtual services while running tests in Quality Management. Rational® Test Control Panel is the interface between Rational® Test Virtualization Server and the Rational® Test Control Panel for the virtualization of services.

You can also use Rational® Integration Tester to run integration tests from Quality Management. For more information about how this integration works, see Rational Integration Tester and Rational Quality Manager. You can either use the Rational® Integration Tester - Quality Management integration for testing, or the Quality Management - Rational® Test Virtualization Server integration for Rational® Test Virtualization Server, or both integrations together. The Rational® Integration Tester- Quality Management integration for testing and the Rational® Test Virtualization Server integration are independent of each other.
