    - 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
      You can use the tools and executable files that are provided along with the product software. You can use these tools to perform different test actions in a non-GUI mode.
      - Command-line interfaces
        Rational® Integration Tester command-line client is available in Rational Integration Tester 8.0.1 or later.
      - Ant tasks
        You can use the supported Ant tasks that is supplied with Rational® Test Control Panel to create, update, or manage the environment, scenarios, and stubs.
      - 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.
- Security Considerations
  You can take certain actions to ensure that your installation is secure, customize your security settings, and set up user access controls.

Managing domains

You can create, list, update, and delete domains with the Rational® Test Control Panel REST API.

Domain security

If domain-level security is disabled, any user can create, list, update, or delete domains.

If domain-level security is enabled, the following restrictions apply:

Only domains that a user is a member of are visible to that user.
A user must be a member of a domain to be authorized to update the domain characteristics.
Only the Rational® Test Control Panel administrator can create or delete domains.
