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

To use the capabilities of IBM® Rational® Test Virtualization Server, you must install the IBM Rational Integration Tester Agent in service virtualization mode, and optionally you can install the IBM Rational Performance Tester Agent for performance testing.

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.

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.

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.

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

You can use the Rational® Test Control Panel Environments dashboard to perform various tasks such as starting, stopping stubs and scenarios, and modifying stub configurations after you have published stubs to Rational Test Control Panel. You can also lock the environment that contain the published stubs.

You can simulate an HTTP connection with a virtual service, also known as a stub.

You can simulate an HTTPS connection with a virtual service, also known as a stub.

You can simulate a TCP connection with a virtual service, also known as a stub.

You can virtualize REST APIs by using the Recording Studio, or by synchronizing WADL, Swagger, or RAML documents. When none of these options is available, you can still manually virtualize REST APIs that use path parameters.

In Rational® Integration Tester, there are several methods that you can use to create a message-based stub.

You can use either the Test Editor or the Stub Editor to create, modify, and enhance any legacy or new stubs created by Rational® Integration Tester.

You can create and modify database stubs in Rational® Integration Tester.

A stub running on its own may not be sufficient in some cases, because it might have dependencies on services such as Rational® Test Control Panel or the HTTP proxy. If the stub is running on the public cloud and the services are running in the enterprise, you must configure the stub to connect to these services.

You can publish stubs that are created in IBM® Rational® Integration Tester to IBM Rational Test Control Panel, Dockerfile and build context, Kubernetes, or Istio, if the stub is based on a supported transport.

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.

All the project stakeholders can view test reports for multiple testing products from the Results page on IBM® Rational® Test Automation Server. You can access the Results page from a web browser. Therefore, there is no need to install the desktop client.

You can use workarounds to common problems that you might encounter when you use IBM® Rational® Test Virtualization Server.
