Generating VAPI-XP scripts with HP Quality Center

How to use HP Quality Center with IBM® Rational® Integration Tester.

About this task

If you are running VAPI-XP tests in HP Quality Center, you can generate VAPI-XP script from Rational Integration Tester that you can use to create tests in Quality Center.

Note: Rational Integration Tester must be installed on the Quality Center client machine to enable the execution of Rational Integration Tester test resources.

Follow the steps to generate a VAPI-XP script from Rational Integration Tester:

Procedure

  1. Select Generate VAPI-XP JavaScript from the Tools menu.

    The Generate VAPI-XP JavaScript dialog is displayed.

  2. Modify the script properties by using the fields at the top of the dialog, as follows:
    Resource The Rational Integration Tester test, suite, or stub to be executed by the script. If a resource was selected in the Test Factory perspective, it is automatically selected. Click Browse to locate and select a different test resource from the project tree.
    Environment Select the existing Rational Integration Tester environment in which the selected resource is to be executed.
    Test Executor The path to the RunTests command, which is used by Quality Center to execute the selected resource. This field is populated according to the Rational Integration Tester installation location, and it must not be modified.
    Project The path to the project file that is open in Rational Integration Tester. This field is editable, but it must not be changed.
    Raise defects automatically Enable this option if you want to have Quality Center raise defects automatically in the case of a failed execution. Otherwise, this field is to be left empty (disabled).
    Note: The contents of the script, in the lower portion of the dialog, is modified according to any changes made to the fields.
  3. When you set the script properties as wanted, click the copy icon to copy the contents of the script to the clipboard.
  4. In Quality Center, paste the contents of the clipboard into your test and save it.

    The selected Rational Integration Tester resource can now be run from Quality Center by using the new VAPI-XP test.
