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

The following diagram shows how RTCP might be deployed in a RTVS Environment.

This project contains ready-to-use examples that showcase features of RTCP and RIT.

• Download instructions
• Examples
• echo
• calculator
• rtcp-rest-api
• License

• Go to GitHub project https://github.com/ibm-rtvs/Examples and select Download ZIP
• Unzip on a computer which has the following prerequisite software installed
  • Rational Integration Tester
  • Rational Integration Tester Platform Pack
  • Rational Integration Tester Agent
  • Rational Test Control Panel

All examples assume that the prerequisite software was installed with the default options. Most notably

• Software is at Version 6.0.1, or above
• All software is installed on the same computer
• Rational Test Control Panel port is 7189
• HTTP proxy port is 3128

This example takes advantage of the echo example web service that is built into RTCP and includes:

• A RIT project which contains a test to exercise the echo operation of the web service.

This example takes advantage of the calculator example web service that is built into RTCP and includes:

• A Java calculator application which uses the calculator web service to perform mathematical calculations. Though the application itself remains unchanged, it can be launched in one of two modes.

  • Normal mode where it connects directly to the web service.
  • Test mode, where traffic is routed through through a RIT proxy. This facilitates both tracing at the operational level and routing operations to the virtual calculators (stubs) provided in the RIT project.

• A RIT project which contains

  • A data-driven test, fed by rows in a CSV file.
  • A series of basic test calculator tests, one per calculator operation.
  • A test suite which exercises basic calculator operations of the web service.
  • A stub which simulates all of the operations of the calculator web service.
  • A partial stub which lets most operations pass-through to the actual web service but intercepts a specific operation to return an unexpected value

Examples that take advantage of the RTCP REST API that is part of the Rational Test Control Panel.

This produces and a simple report in text form containing information about the stubs available and running within the Rational Test Control Panel.
