System requirements
This document includes information about hardware and software requirements for HCL DevOps Test Integrations and APIs (Test Integrations and APIs) 2024.03 (11.0.1).
Getting Started
This guide provides an overview and describes the tasks to get you started with HCL DevOps Test Integrations and APIs (Test Integrations and APIs).
- Overview of DevOps Test Integrations and APIs
  You can use HCL DevOps Test Integrations and APIs (Test Integrations and APIs) to create, modify, and run service tests.
- Testing methodology
  By following four basic guidelines, you can incorporate HCL DevOps Test Integrations and APIs (Test Integrations and APIs) into your testing methodology. These guidelines drive efficient and expedient integration testing, and they can be applied to your testing process and infrastructure requirements.
- Service-oriented architecture (SOA) testing
  A SOA consists of business processes that are implemented by linking individual services. The linking can be done programmatically or with tools based on Business Process Execution Language (BPEL). SOA testing can be challenging because there is no GUI; the focus is on testing interfaces and services.
- Getting started with testing in DevOps Test Integrations and APIs
  You can start using HCL DevOps Test Integrations and APIs (Test Integrations and APIs) by completing the preliminary tasks such as creating and running a test, creating and running a stub, recording an HTTP proxy, and running a stub in a Docker container.
  - Creating and running a test
    You can create and run a test in HCL DevOps Test Integrations and APIs (Test Integrations and APIs) by importing a Swagger definition of an API. You can also find pointers for creating and running tests when the system under test does not have a Swagger definition.
  - Creating and running a stub
    Integration testing in a real environment can be difficult because not all components are always available, even though the requirement is to test all the components of an application. With HCL DevOps Test Integrations and APIs (Test Integrations and APIs), you can create reusable and maintainable stubs (virtual services), which you can use in testing until the actual components become available. You can create and run a stub with a WSDL file.
  - Discovering, Recording, and Intercepting an HTTP proxy
    You can create stubs (virtual services) when you do not have a service or an API definition file such as WSDL or Swagger. You can enable the stub to use an HTTP proxy as the transport for messaging, then use the topology discovery capabilities to discover the endpoints and intercept the endpoints. You can record an operation and verify if the service is virtualized by disabling the server application.
  - Running a stub in a Docker container
    You can package a stub into a Docker image and then run the stub in a Docker container. You can run the stub anywhere that you have a Docker environment, whether on a private cloud or public cloud.
- DevOps Test Virtualization Control Panel overview
  HCL DevOps Test Virtualization (Test Virtualization) stubs that are designed in HCL DevOps Test Integrations and APIs (Test Integrations and APIs) are published to HCL DevOps Test Virtualization Control Panel (Test Virtualization Control Panel), which holds them in a repository.
- DevOps Test Integrations and APIs accessibility features
  Users who have a physical disability, such as limited vision, can review the available accessibility features to use HCL DevOps Test Integrations and APIs (Test Integrations and APIs).

Getting started with testing in DevOps Test Integrations and APIs

You can start using HCL DevOps Test Integrations and APIs (Test Integrations and APIs) by completing the preliminary tasks such as creating and running a test, creating and running a stub, recording an HTTP proxy, and running a stub in a Docker container.

In Creating and running a test, you learn how to create and run a test with Swagger. In Creating and running a stub, you learn how to create and run a stub with WSDL. In Discovering, Recording, and Intercepting an HTTP proxy, you learn how to create stubs (virtual services) by observing the systems that already exist, when you do not have a service definition or an API definition file such as WSDL or Swagger. In Running a stub in a Docker container, you learn how to package a stub into a Docker image and run it in a Docker container.
