Integrations
HCL DevOps Test Virtualization (Test Virtualization) supports integration with various other tools for deployment automation tools.
DevOps Test Virtualization and HCL DevOps Deploy
When you use HCL DevOps Deploy (Deploy) for automating application deployments of your application, you can run virtual services (stubs) created for your application that are created in HCL DevOps Test Integrations and APIs (Test Integrations and APIs). You can run the tests from Deploy by using the or the DevOps Deploy plugin for DevOps Test Virtualization.

Administrator Guide
Typically, a user with the administrator role is responsible for certain tasks including installation, configuration, and integration of the product. This guide lists all such topics.
- Installation of DevOps Test Integrations and APIs Agent
  You can find information about installing HCL DevOps Test Integrations and APIs Agent (Test Integrations and APIs Agent) from the HCL DevOps Test Workbench (Test Workbench), HCL DevOps Test Virtualization (Test Virtualization), or HCL DevOps Test Integrations and APIs (Test Integrations and APIs) package.
- Installation of DevOps Test Virtualization Control Panel
  You can find information about installing HCL DevOps Test Virtualization Control Panel (Test Virtualization Control Panel) from the HCL DevOps Test Workbench (Test Workbench), HCL DevOps Test Virtualization (Test Virtualization), or HCL DevOps Test Integrations and APIs (Test Integrations and APIs) package.
- Uninstalling the product software
  When you no longer require the software, you can use either Installation Manager or the stand-alone installer to uninstall the products that you have installed.
- Upgrading DevOps Test Integrations and APIs Agent
  In general, you can upgrade from earlier versions of HCL DevOps Test Integrations and APIs Agent (Test Integrations and APIs Agent) to the most recent version without having to uninstall the software. Use the Installation Manager Update option to upgrade the software.
- License management
  Licensing for your HCL software is administered through HCL® License & Delivery portal. This portal is FlexNet-based web application to manage software entitlements and licenses.
- Configuring DevOps Test Integrations and APIs Agent
  After you install HCL DevOps Test Integrations and APIs Agent (Test Integrations and APIs Agent), you must edit or modify the attributes in the Agent.config file for the features that you want to test by using the agent. You need to configure the libraries to enable testing the SUT based on certain technologies and also set up the required proxies for enabling testing.
- Running DevOps Test Integrations and APIs Agent on Microsoft™ Windows™
  On computers running Microsoft™ Windows™, the agent is typically installed and run as a Windows service.
- Running DevOps Test Integrations and APIs Agent on Unix-like systems
  On Unix-like systems, you can start HCL DevOps Test Integrations and APIs Agent (Test Integrations and APIs Agent) by running the Agent executable in the root of the Test Integrations and APIs Agent installation directory (for example, /opt/HCL/DevOpsTestAPIAgent).
- Troubleshooting: DevOps Test Integrations and APIs Agent
  You can use workarounds to common problems that you might encounter when you install and run the HCL DevOps Test Integrations and APIs Agent (Test Integrations and APIs Agent).
- HTTP/TCP proxy setup
  The process of configuring applications to use the HTTP/TCP proxy varies according to the application.
- Setting up the JDBC proxy
  After you install the JDBC proxy, you must deploy the proxy into the Java™ virtual machine (JVM) of the relevant applications, set up the proxy for use, and verify that it is deployed.
- Administration of DevOps Test Virtualization Control Panel
  HCL DevOps Test Virtualization Control Panel (Test Virtualization Control Panel) is a server-based web application providing a central repository for virtualized services. The Test Virtualization Control Panel allows you to use virtual services published with HCL DevOps Test Integrations and APIs (Test Integrations and APIs) to create, share, and deploy virtualized test environments in HCL DevOps Test Virtualization (Test Virtualization).

  - DevOps Test Virtualization and HCL DevOps Deploy
    When you use HCL DevOps Deploy (Deploy) for automating application deployments of your application, you can run virtual services (stubs) created for your application that are created in HCL DevOps Test Integrations and APIs (Test Integrations and APIs). You can run the tests from Deploy by using the or the DevOps Deploy plugin for DevOps Test Virtualization.
    - Installing the DevOps Deploy plugin for DevOps Test Virtualization
      You must install the latest version of the DevOps Deploy plugin for DevOps Test Virtualization on the Deploy server to integrate Test Virtualization with Deploy, and then run stubs on the Deploy server.
    - Running DevOps Test Virtualization tests on the HCL DevOps Deploy server
      After you install the DevOps Deploy plugin for DevOps Test Virtualization on the HCL DevOps Deploy server, you can create a process request that contains the test for your application, and then run the test on the HCL DevOps Deploy server.

DevOps Test Virtualization and HCL DevOps Deploy

You can run the tests from Deploy by using the or the DevOps Deploy plugin for DevOps Test Virtualization.

DevOps Deploy plugin for DevOps Test Virtualization

Service Virtualization helps you to automate the testing of integration in complex application environments much earlier in the development life cycle. You can use the Deploy plugin for Test Virtualization for creating virtual services that model the services on which your application depends. You can virtualize services that are accessed through various technologies, including HTTP, MQ, JMS, JDBC, TCP/IP, CICS-TG, IMS Connect, SAP, and Software AG web methods.
