Integration with UrbanCode™ Deploy
You can integrate IBM® Rational® Test Automation Server with IBM® UrbanCode™ Deploy to run 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 test assets for your application in desktop clients. After you configure the project in Rational® Test Automation Server, you can then run those tests assets from UrbanCode™ Deploy.
You must use the Rational® Test Automation Server UCD plugin to integrate Rational® Test Automation Server with UrbanCode™ Deploy. Integrating Rational® Test Automation Server 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:
