Integration with IBM® UrbanCode™ Deploy
You can integrate IBM® Rational® Performance Tester with IBM® UrbanCode™ Deploy to run performance test assets as a Process from UrbanCode™ Deploy.
When you use UrbanCode™ Deploy for automating the deployments of your applications to an environment during the development cycle, you can create performance test assets for your application in Rational® Performance Tester. You can then run those tests from UrbanCode™ Deploy.
You must use the Rational® Performance Tester UCD plugin to integrate Rational® Performance Tester with UrbanCode™ Deploy. Integrating Rational® Performance Tester with UrbanCode™ Deploy automates the process of test runs. If you have many tests to run at regular intervals, you can use UrbanCode™ Deploy to initiate test runs automatically.
The following table lists the tasks that you must perform to run performance test assets from UrbanCode™ Deploy:
| Tasks | Go to... |
|---|---|
| Install Rational® Performance Tester. | Installing Rational Performance Tester. If you installed Rational® Performance Tester on the Mac operating system, you must have added TEST_WORKBENCH_HOME as an environment variable. You must have pointed that environment variable to the installation directory of Rational® Performance Tester. Note: On Windows® and Linux™ operating systems, the
TEST_WORKBENCH_HOME environment variable is set
