Test Integrations and APIs test integration overview

You can use HCL DevOps Test Performance (Test Performance) Extension for Test Integrations and APIs to run API tests.

You can also choose to import the projects to Test Performance from Test Integrations and APIs, add the tests to a schedule or compound test to run them. You can either use Test Performance Agent or Test Integrations and APIs Agent to generate the load. You must create a compound test or schedule that contains the Test Integrations and APIs tests.

When you make changes to your API tests within Test Performance and you want to sync the changes on Test Integrations and APIs, you must install Test Integrations and APIs and specify the installation directory path to establish the connection.

You can find the following use cases to work with API tests in Test Performance:

If you install both Test Performance and Test Integrations and APIs you can connect to the API project. Alternatively, you can directly open the API resource from the Test Navigator view, and then work directly with the source files.
If Test Integrations and APIs is not installed and you import the projects in the workspace of Test Performance.

Note: The imported tests must be edited in Test Integrations and APIs. Similarly, the schedules and compounds tests must be edited in Test Performance.

Running the compound test or schedule

You can initiate the test run by clicking Run Compound Test, Run VU Schedule, or Run Rate Schedule. See Running compound tests and Running a local schedule or test.

Note: When you run the integration tests as part of the compound tests, an integration test log is generated and accessible in the Extended Properties section. See Viewing integration test logs.
