IBM.Test resource class

The IBM.Test resource class allows new types of fixed and floating resources to be created, monitored and controlled through the RMC subsystem. These resources are not real resources but just the containers to define, monitor and control them. These resources can then be automated or recovered by System Automation for Multiplatforms. The purpose of the IBM.Test class is to provide a lightweight and easy-to-handle resource to simulate automation scenarios without the overhead of real resources. Each resource controlled by the IBM.Test class is considered to be a globalized resource which divides in one aggregate and one constituent on every node the resource is defined. See Figure 1 on page IBM.Application resource class for details.

The IBM.Test resource class provides a set of persistent resource attributes to simulate the behavior of real resources.
