  - DevOps Test Virtualization overview
    HCL DevOps Test Virtualization (Test Virtualization) is software that is used for creating, maintaining, publishing, and running message-based stubs and database stubs.
  - Virtualizing HTTP
    You can simulate an HTTP connection with a virtual service, also known as a stub.
  - Virtualizing HTTPS
    You can simulate an HTTPS connection with a virtual service, also known as a stub.
  - Virtualizing TCP
    You can simulate a TCP connection with a virtual service, also known as a stub.
  - Virtualizing a REST API without recording or synchronization
    You can virtualize REST APIs by using the Recording Studio, or by synchronizing WADL, Swagger, or RAML documents. When none of these options is available, you can still manually virtualize REST APIs that use path parameters.
  - Creating message-based stubs
    In HCL DevOps Test Integrations and APIs (Test Integrations and APIs), there are several methods that you can use to create a message-based stub.
  - Modifying message-based stubs
    You can use either the Test Editor or the Stub Editor to create, modify, and enhance any legacy or new stubs created by HCL DevOps Test Integrations and APIs (Test Integrations and APIs).
  - Creating and modifying database stubs
    You can create and modify database stubs in HCL DevOps Test Integrations and APIs (Test Integrations and APIs).
  - Configuring stubs to connect to DevOps Test Virtualization Control Panel and the HTTP proxy
    A stub running on its own may not be sufficient in some cases, because it might have dependencies on services such as HCL DevOps Test Virtualization Control Panel (Test Virtualization Control Panel) or the HTTP proxy. If the stub is running on the public cloud and the services are running in the enterprise, you must configure the stub to connect to these services.
  - Publishing and running stubs
    You can publish stubs that are created in HCL DevOps Test Integrations and APIs (Test Integrations and APIs) to HCL DevOps Test Virtualization Control Panel (Test Virtualization Control Panel), Dockerfile and build context, Kubernetes, or Istio, if the stub is based on a supported transport.
    - Publishing stubs
      You can publish a stub to HCL DevOps Test Virtualization Control Panel (Test Virtualization Control Panel), Dockerfile and build context, Kubernetes, or Istio with Kubernetes by using the HCL DevOps Test Integrations and APIs (Test Integrations and APIs) Publish Stubs wizard.
    - Running stubs
      Several methods are available to start and stop the stubs. You can also modify and control stubs while they are running.
      - Starting stubs
        HCL DevOps Test Virtualization Control Panel (Test Virtualization Control Panel), HCL DevOps Test Integrations and APIs (Test Integrations and APIs), or Docker can be used to start stubs.
      - Scenarios
        In HCL DevOps Test Virtualization Control Panel (Test Virtualization Control Panel), you can create scenarios, which are collections of configured stubs that can be started and stopped together.
      - Stopping stubs
        You can use HCL DevOps Test Virtualization Control Panel (Test Virtualization Control Panel), HCL DevOps Test Integrations and APIs (Test Integrations and APIs), or Docker to stop the stubs.
        Stopping stubs by using the Control Panel method
        When you want to stop stubs that are running on HCL DevOps Test Virtualization Control Panel (Test Virtualization Control Panel), you can stop individual stubs or stop multiple stubs from the Environments Dashboard or Infrastructure Dashboard.
        Stopping stubs by using the Integration tester method
        You can stop stubs using the HCL DevOps Test Integrations and APIs (Test Integrations and APIs) method.
        Stopping stubs that are running in a Docker container
        Use the docker stop command to stop stubs that you published to a Docker container.
        Stopping stubs that are running in Kubernetes
        When you no longer require the stub that is running in an Istio or a Kubernetes deployment, you can delete the virtual service of the stub or delete the complete deployment of the stub.
    - Modifying running stubs
      If you are using HCL DevOps Test Integrations and APIs (Test Integrations and APIs) to run a stub, you can modify the stub while it is running.
    - Controlling running stubs
      You can control stubs that are running in a number of ways.
    - Behaviors for stubs
      You can create a simple behavior called "echo" that will expose one function and one event for use by a HCL DevOps Test Virtualization (Test Virtualization) stub.
  - Viewing results in DevOps Test Virtualization Control Panel
    You can use HCL DevOps Test Virtualization Control Panel (Test Virtualization Control Panel) to display the results of tests that you run in both HCL DevOps Test Integrations and APIs (Test Integrations and APIs) and Test Virtualization Control Panel.
  - Viewing usage statistics of virtual services in DevOps Test Virtualization Control Panel
    Test Virtualization Control Panel collects and stores usage metric data. The metric data might include the number and types of actions that are used, the features that are used in the workbench, details about Operating System or languages set while running, and so forth. You cannot view the metric data on the Test Virtualization Control Panel user interface, but it is available from the underlying implementation. Storage is either managed by H2 or optionally Apache Cassandra.
  - Viewing reports in DevOps Test Hub
    All the project stakeholders can view test reports for multiple testing products from the Results page on HCL DevOps Test Hub (Test Hub). You can access the Results page from a web browser. Therefore, there is no need to install the desktop client.
  - Troubleshooting: DevOps Test Virtualization
    You can use workarounds to common problems that you might encounter when you use HCL DevOps Test Virtualization (Test Virtualization).

Stopping stubs by using the DevOps Test Virtualization Control Panel method

When you want to stop stubs that are running on HCL DevOps Test Virtualization Control Panel (Test Virtualization Control Panel), you can stop individual stubs or stop multiple stubs from the Environments Dashboard or Infrastructure Dashboard.

Before you begin

You must have started the stubs that are published to Test Virtualization Control Panel or the stubs must be running on Test Virtualization Control Panel. See Starting stubs.

About this task

You must stop the running stubs in the following situations:

When you no longer require the stubs to run on Test Virtualization Control Panel.
When you want to stop the engine of the agent that is running.

Note: You must stop the stubs that are running otherwise the stubs continue to run indefinitely.

Procedure

Log in to Test Virtualization Control Panel.
Open any of the following dashboards:
- The Environments Dashboard, if the stubs are running on Test Virtualization Control Panel.
- The Infrastructure Dashboard, if the stubs are running on agent computers.

Perform the action described in the following table to stop running stubs:


To stop...	Action...
A stub from the Environments Dashboard.	Click the STOP stub icon for the stub that is in the `STARTING` or `RUNNING` state.
All running stubs in the selected `<domain>:<environment>` from the Environments Dashboard.	Click the STOP stub icon .
The running stubs that are in a scenario for the selected `<domain>:<environment>` from the Environments Dashboard.	Perform the following steps: Expand the scenario. Click the STOP stub icon for the stub that is in the `STARTING` or `RUNNING` state. The status of the stub changes from `STARTING` or `RUNNING` to `STOPPING` or `STOPPED`. Note: A scenario is displayed as `RUNNING` until all of the stubs contained in the scenario are stopped.
All running stubs that are running on an agent engine when you stop the engine, from the Infrastructure Dashboard.	Perform the following steps: Expand the agent on which the stubs are running. Expand the Engines section. Click STOP to stop the engine. Select the Stop the stubs associated with this engine? check box. Click STOP. Note: You must stop the stubs that are running on the agent engine when you stop the engine to prevent the stubs from restarting after the engine is stopped.
