Tester Guide
This guide describes the tasks that you can perform for testing various domains, technologies, and applications. To enable testing, you must configure and enable the environment for testing.
Integration Tester Reference
This guide provides the topics to help the Integration tester use the product by using the user interface, commands or scripts. This guide is intended for Integration testers.
Working in non-GUI mode
Many test actions can be completed in non-GUI mode by using the command line, Ant, or REST interfaces.
Command-line interfaces
Rational® Integration Tester command-line client is available in Rational Integration Tester 8.0.1 or later.

  - Extending Rational® Integration Tester functionality by using custom functions
    You can add more calculations and operations to tests by using the Rational® Integration Tester custom function class. Rational Integration Tester custom function is a Java™ class that extends the com.ghc.ghTester.expressions function.
  - Working in non-GUI mode
    Many test actions can be completed in non-GUI mode by using the command line, Ant, or REST interfaces.
    - Command-line interfaces
      Rational® Integration Tester command-line client is available in Rational Integration Tester 8.0.1 or later.
      - Displaying RunTests command help
        To display RunTests command help, run RunTests help command.
      - Displaying IntegrationTesterCmd command list and the help
        To display the list of IntegrationTesterCmd commands and the help for a specific command, run IntegrationTesterCmd help and IntegrationTesterCmd help <command-name> commands.
    - Ant tasks
      Support for the environment, scenario and stub Ant tasks is supplied with Rational® Test Control Panel.
    - REST services
      Representational state transfer (REST) is a simple stateless architecture that generally runs over HTTP. When used in conjunction with IBM® Rational® Test Control Panel, HTTP methods (such as GET and POST) are mapped to actions on domains, environments, scenarios, stubs and other resource types.
    - Running tests
      Use Rational® Integration Tester to run tests with command-line and Ant APIs.
    - Managing test results
      Use IBM® Rational® Test Control Panel to manage test results with command-line APIs.
    - Managing domains
      You can create, list, update, and delete domains with the Rational® Test Control Panel REST API.
    - Managing environments
      Locking a Rational® Test Control Panel environment prevents other users from changing the state of that environment, for example, starting or stopping stubs.
    - Managing scenarios
      Use IBM® Rational® Test Control Panel to manage scenarios with command-line, Ant, and REST APIs.
    - Managing stubs
      You can manage stubs by using the command-line, Ant, and REST APIs.

Command-line interfaces

Rational® Integration Tester command-line client is available in Rational® Integration Tester 8.0.1 or later.

Run the Rational® Integration Tester commands from the Windows™ Command Prompt or the Linux™ Terminal. Use the commands to run Rational® Integration Tester project resources locally (using RunTests), manage test results (using IntegrationTesterCmd), and use Rational® Test Control Panel to start and stop stubs, run scenarios, and lock and unlock environments (using IntegrationTesterCmd). Most Rational® Integration Tester commands require Rational® Integration Tester version 8.0.1 or later and Rational® Test Control Panel version 8.0.1 or later, unless noted otherwise on the page for the individual command.

RunTests Command syntax

The general syntax for all commands is as follows:

RunTests Options

For more information and examples about the RunTests command, see Run tests by using the command line.

Rational® Integration Tester Command syntax

The general syntax for all commands is as follows:

IntegrationTesterCmd Options command Arguments

For more information and examples about the IntegrationTesterCmd command, see Working in non-GUI mode.

Exit codes

The commands and the Ant tasks share the same exit codes. For information about these codes, see Exit codes for Command-line client and Ant client.
