Rational® Test Virtualization Server is software that is used for creating, maintaining, publishing, and running message-based stubs and database stubs.

The home page contains several interactive guides that walks you, step by step, through some of the common tasks. The home page also contains links to some of the information resources that are available on the web.

You can find information about installing IBM® Rational® Integration Tester Agent from the IBM Rational Test Workbench, IBM Rational Test Virtualization Server, or package.

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.

In general, you can upgrade from earlier versions of Rational® Integration Tester Agent to the most recent version without having to uninstall the software. Use the IBM® Installation Manager Update option to upgrade the software.

As a purchaser of an IBM® Rational® software product, you can choose from the different types of product licenses that you can deploy to use the product.

After you install Rational® Integration Tester Agent, you must edit or modify the attributes in the Agent.config file for the features that you want to test by using the agent. You need to configure the libraries to enable testing the SUT based on certain technologies and also set up the required proxies for enabling testing.

On computers running Microsoft™ Windows™, the agent is typically installed and run as a Windows service.

On Unix-like systems, you can start Rational® Integration Tester Agent by running the Agent executable in the root of the Rational Integration Tester Agent installation directory (for example, /opt/IBM/RIT-Agent/).

You can use workarounds to common problems that you might encounter when you install and run the Rational® Integration Tester Agent.

The process of configuring applications to use the HTTP/TCP proxy varies according to the application.

After you install the JDBC proxy, you must deploy the proxy into the Java™ virtual machine (JVM) of the relevant applications, set up the proxy for use, and verify that it is deployed.

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.

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.

This guide describes the tasks that you can perform for using virtual services or stubs to simulate parts of an environment if the real services are not yet available or because they are difficult or expensive to use. This guide is intended for Integration Testers.

You can use IBM® Rational® Test Control Panel to display the results of tests that you run in both Rational Integration Tester and Rational Test Control Panel.

You can use IBM® Rational® Test Control Panel to display the usage statistics of virtual services across Rational Test Virtualization Server and IBM Rational Integration Tester.

You must ensure that your installation is secure, customize your security settings, and set up user access controls. Also, you must know about any security limitations that you might encounter with this server application.
