Example: Virtualizing services in a component process

The following component process creates and updates an environment in IBM® Rational® Test Control Panel and then runs an integration test in IBM Rational Integration Tester.
You can use a similar process as part of an overall scenario that includes virtualized services. This process assumes that the application binary files are in the component. It also assumes that the environment contains an installation of Rational Integration Tester. The process runs the following steps in order:
  1. The Create Transient Environment step uses a base environment stored in Rational Test Control Panel to create a transient environment.
  2. The Update Transient Environment step updates the host name tag in the transient environment to correspond to the host where the environment is deployed, which could be in the cloud.
  3. The Start Stub step initiates the virtualized service.
  4. The Run Integration Tests step runs tests on the agent.
  5. The Stop Stub step shuts down the virtualized service.
  6. The Delete Transient Environment step deletes the transient environment.
