  - 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.
  - 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.
