Rational Integration Tester and UrbanCode Deploy

When you use UrbanCode™ Deploy (UCD) for automating application deployments of your application, you can run tests created for your application that are created in Rational® Integration Tester. You can run the tests from UCD by using the UCD plugin for Rational® Integration Tester or the UCD plugin for Rational® Test Virtualization Server

UCD plugin for Rational® Integration Tester

With the UCD plugin for Rational® Integration Tester, you can run a test, a test suite, or a performance test defined in a Rational® Integration Tester project.

UCD plugin for Rational® Test Virtualization Server

Service Virtualization helps you to automate the testing of integration in complex application environments much earlier in the development life cycle. You can use the UCD plugin for Rational® Test Virtualization Server for creating virtual services that model the services on which your application depends. You can virtualize services that are accessed through various technologies, including HTTP, MQ, JMS, JDBC, TCP/IP, CICS-TG, IMS Connect, SAP, and Software AG web methods.
