    - 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.
        Accessing and using Ant tasks
        You can use the Apache Ant tasks package provided with Rational® Test Control Panel that contains the Ant tasks with which you can control the environment, scenario, and stubs in Rational Test Control Panel.
        Generating Ant scripts to run tests or suites
        You can generate Ant scripts from IBM® Rational® Integration Tester by using the Integration Tester Test Execution plug-in. You can use the generated script to run test resources automatically from within Ant by using the IntegrationTester Ant task.
        Exit codes for Command-line client and Ant client
        The Rational® Integration Tester Command-Line Client and the Rational Test Control Panel Ant Client applications share the same exit codes.
      - 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.
  - Technical Tester Guide
    Typically, a user with the Integration Tester role is also responsible for performance testing. This guide lists all such topics.
  - Integration Tester Guide (Service Virtualization)
    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.
- Test Manager Guide
  This guide describes the tasks that you can perform for tracking the quality of the application. This guide is intended for Test Managers.
- Troubleshooting
  While working with Rational® Integration Tester, you might encounter some problems that you can easily troubleshoot.
- Reference Guide
  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.
- Security Considerations
  You can take certain actions to ensure that your installation is secure, customize your security settings, and set up user access controls.
