Working with Rational Test Control Panel

IBM® Rational® Test Control Panel is a server-based web application providing a central repository for virtualized services. The IBM Rational Test Control Panel allows you to use virtual services published with IBM Rational Integration Tester to create, share, and deploy virtualized test environments in IBM Rational Test Virtualization Server.

Functional overview

IBM Rational Test Virtualization Server stubs designed in IBM Rational Integration Tester are published to Rational Test Control Panel, which holds them in a repository. Rational Test Control Panel users can control stubs by means of web pages; and Rational Test Control Panel also manages the Rational Test Virtualization Server environment so that, where possible, messages are routed automatically to the stubs. (For more information about stubs, refer to Virtualization testing using Rational Test Virtualization Server.)

Rational Test Control Panel also enables you to schedule the execution of test suites on a single schedule basis or a recurring schedule basis.
