Administrator Guide
This guide describes how to install IBM® Rational® Functional Tester software. After you install the software, you can perform administration tasks such as license configuration and integration with other products. This guide is intended for administrators.
Integrations in UI Test perspective
In this section, you will learn about the supported integrations for the Web UI Test perspective.
Testing with Rational® Integration Tester
Starting from 9.5.0, you can use Rational® Integration Tester extension to execute API tests. In Rational Functional Tester, you can either import the projects from Rational Integration Tester or manage them from Rational Functional Tester by establishing the connection between the products. In Rational Functional Tester, you can create a compound test to run the IntegrationAPI tests by using the Agents.
Running Rational® Integration Tester tests
You can use Rational® Functional Tester Extension for IBM® Rational Integration Tester to run IBM Rational Integration Tester tests.

Administrator Guide
This guide describes how to install IBM® Rational® Functional Tester software. After you install the software, you can perform administration tasks such as license configuration and integration with other products. This guide is intended for administrators.
- Installing
  In this section, you will learn about two ways to install the product. In the first approach, you use an executable file to directly install the product in an easy manner. In the second approach, you download and install IBM® Installation Manager and then use that tool to install the product.
- Starting Rational® Functional Tester from the command line
  You can start Rational® Functional Tester from the desktop environment or a command-line interface.
- Integrations in UI Test perspective
  In this section, you will learn about the supported integrations for the Web UI Test perspective.
  - Integration plugin compatibility matrix
    You can find information about the versions of the integration plugin that are compatible with HCL OneTest™ UI.
  - Testing with Ant
    You can use Ant to run compound tests and Web UI tests from the command-line interface.
  - Integration with Azure DevOps for UI tests
    When you use Azure DevOps for continuous integration and continuous deployment of your application, you can create tests for your application in HCL OneTest™ UI and run those tests in Azure DevOps pipelines. You can integrate Azure DevOps with HCL OneTest UI by using the HCL OneTest Studio extension that is available in the Visual Studio Marketplace portal.
  - EGit integration
    EGit is an Eclipse plugin for the Git version control system. You can store your test assets in the Git repository and use EGit for the daily version control operations.
  - Integration with Rational® Team Concert™
    You can manage test assets with Jazz™ source control management by integrating the test workbench with IBM® Rational® Team Concert™ (formerly known as Rational Team Concert) eclipse client.
  - Integration with IBM® Engineering Test Management
    You can integrate IBM® Engineering Test Management (formerly known as IBM Rational® Quality Manager) with Rational Functional Tester to initiate test runs from Engineering Test Management.
  - Integration with Jenkins
    You can use the HCL OneTest™ UI Jenkins plugin to run tests on a Jenkins server.
  - Testing with Maven
    Starting from 9.2.0, you can use the Maven plug-in that is provided with the testing product to run tests as part of your Maven build. Apache Maven is a software build tool based on the concept of a project object model (POM).
  - Integration with Micro Focus ALM
    You can integrate HCL OneTest™ UI with Micro Focus Application Lifecycle Management (ALM) to run test assets from Micro Focus ALM.
  - Testing with Rational® Integration Tester
    Starting from 9.5.0, you can use Rational® Integration Tester extension to execute API tests. In Rational Functional Tester, you can either import the projects from Rational Integration Tester or manage them from Rational Functional Tester by establishing the connection between the products. In Rational Functional Tester, you can create a compound test to run the IntegrationAPI tests by using the Agents.
    - Running Rational® Integration Tester tests
      You can use Rational® Functional Tester Extension for IBM® Rational Integration Tester to run IBM Rational Integration Tester tests.
  - Testing with UrbanCode Deploy
    With the IBM® Rational® Functional Tester plugin for UrbanCode™ Deploy, you can automate the execution of tests and compound tests.
- Integrations in Functional Test perspective
  In this section, you will learn about the supported integrations for the Functional Test perspective.

Running Rational® Integration Tester tests

You can use Rational® Functional Tester Extension for IBM® Rational® Integration Tester to run IBM® Rational® Integration Tester tests.

You can install both the products on the same machine, establish the connection, and run Rational® Integration Tester tests. See Testing with Rational® Integration Tester.

You also have the option to just import the projects to Rational® Performance Tester Rational® Integration Tester, add the tests to a compound test to run them. You can either use Rational® Performance Tester Agent or Rational® Integration Tester Agent to generate the load. You need a compound test that contains the Rational® Integration Tester tests.

Setting environment variable

To run the tests with Rational® Integration Tester Agent, set the environment variable INTEGRATION_TESTER_AGENT_HOME and point it to the Rational® Integration Tester Agent installation directory.

On Windows, set:

INTEGRATION_TESTER_AGENT_HOME = C:\Program Files\HCL\HCLProducts\Agent

On Linux, set:

INTEGRATION_TESTER_AGENT_HOME=/opt/HCL/HOT-API-Agent
export INTEGRATION_TESTER_AGENT_HOME
echo $INTEGRATION_TESTER_AGENT_HOME

If the environment variable is not set, the compound or schedule test run fails with an error message as depicted in the following image:

Running the compound test

Click Run Compound Test.
After the run completes, the Rational® Integration Tester report displays statistics on the executed sequences and Timed Sections if some are defined in the tests.
