Overview of DevOps Test Integrations and APIs

You can use IBM® DevOps Test Integrations and APIs (Test Integrations and APIs) to create, modify, run service tests, and performance tests.

These are the components of Test Integrations and APIs and must be installed as part of the Test Workbench product:

  • Test Integrations and APIs
  • IBM DevOps Test Virtualization Control Panel (Test Virtualization Control Panel)

Test Integrations and APIs

With Test Integrations and APIs, you get a scripting-free environment for developing tests for service-oriented architecture (SOA) messaging and business process integration projects. You can build tests by recording existing system behaviors or from requirements, by entering the data to send and the data that is expected in return. You can also create virtual services to remove test dependencies and enable earlier testing. Virtual services can be deployed by Service Virtualization to provide on-demand virtualized test environments that can support all phases of the test development lifecycle.

Test Virtualization Control Panel

The Test Virtualization Control Panel is a server-based web application that provides a central repository for virtualized services. The server allows you to use virtual services published with Test Integrations and APIs to create, share, and deploy virtualized test environments in IBM DevOps Test Virtualization (Test Virtualization).

It also contains technology-specific components used by Test Integrations and APIs for recording SOA message conversations, HTTP(S) and JDBC traffic, and for monitoring middleware systems under test with minimal reconfiguration of client applications
