- Tester Guide - Integrations and API Testing
  This guide describes the tasks that you can perform for testing various domains, technologies, and applications. To enable testing, you must configure and enable the environment for testing. This guide is intended for Integrations and API testers.
  - Integrations and API Testing
    You can use find information about the tasks that you can perform for testing various domains, technologies, or applications.
  - Extending DevOps Test Integrations and APIs functionality by using custom functions
    You can add more calculations and operations to tests by using the HCL DevOps Test Integrations and APIs (Test Integrations and APIs) custom function class. Test Integrations and APIs custom function is a Java™ class that extends the com.ghc.ghTester.expressions function.
  - Working in non-GUI mode
    You can use the tools and executable files that are provided along with the product software. You can use these tools to perform different test actions in a non-GUI mode.
    - Command-line interfaces
      HCL DevOps Test Integrations and APIs (Test Integrations and APIs) command-line client is available in Test Integrations and APIs 8.0.1 or later.
    - Ant tasks
      You can use the supported Ant tasks that is supplied with HCL DevOps Test Virtualization Control Panel (Test Virtualization Control Panel) to create, update, or manage the environment, scenarios, and stubs.
    - REST services
      Representational state transfer (REST) is a simple stateless architecture that generally runs over HTTP. When used in conjunction with HCL DevOps Test Virtualization Control Panel (Test Virtualization Control Panel), HTTP methods (such as GET and POST) are mapped to actions on domains, environments, scenarios, stubs and other resource types.
    - Running tests
      Use HCL DevOps Test Integrations and APIs (Test Integrations and APIs) to run tests with command-line and Ant APIs.
    - Managing test results
      Use HCL DevOps Test Virtualization Control Panel (Test Virtualization Control Panel) to manage test results with command-line APIs.
    - Managing domains
      You can create, list, update, and delete domains with the HCL DevOps Test Virtualization Control Panel (Test Virtualization Control Panel) REST API.
    - Managing environments
      Locking a HCL DevOps Test Virtualization Control Panel (Test Virtualization Control Panel) environment prevents other users from changing the state of that environment, for example, starting or stopping stubs.
    - Managing scenarios
      Use HCL DevOps Test Virtualization Control Panel (Test Virtualization Control Panel) to manage scenarios with command-line, Ant, and REST APIs.
      - Start a scenario by using the command line
        You can start a scenario by using the HCL DevOps Test Integrations and APIs (Test Integrations and APIs) command line. This option is useful in situations where Ant is not available.
      - Stop a scenario by using the command line
        You can stop a scenario by using the HCL DevOps Test Integrations and APIs (Test Integrations and APIs) command line, optionally waiting for the scenario to stop before exiting. This option is useful in situations where Ant is not available.
      - Start a scenario by using an Ant task
        You can start a scenario by using the HCL DevOps Test Virtualization Control Panel (Test Virtualization Control Panel) Ant tasks.
      - Stop a scenario by using an Ant task
        You can stop a scenario by using the HCL DevOps Test Virtualization Control Panel (Test Virtualization Control Panel) Ant tasks.
      - REST services
        Representational state transfer (REST) is a simple stateless architecture that generally runs over HTTP. When used in conjunction with HCL DevOps Test Virtualization Control Panel (Test Virtualization Control Panel), HTTP methods (such as GET and POST) are mapped to actions on domains, environments, scenarios, stubs and other resource types.
    - Managing stubs
      You can manage stubs by using the command-line, Ant, and REST APIs.
- Tester Guide - Service Virtualization
  This guide describes the tasks that you can perform for using virtual services or stubs to simulate parts of an environment if the real services are not yet available or because they are difficult or expensive to use. This guide is intended for API Testers.
Test Manager Guide
This guide describes the tasks that you can perform for tracking the quality of the application. This guide is intended for Test Managers.
Security Considerations for DevOps Test Virtualization
You can take certain actions to ensure that your installation is secure, customize your security settings, and set up user access controls.

Stop a scenario by using an Ant task

You can stop a scenario by using the HCL DevOps Test Virtualization Control Panel (Test Virtualization Control Panel) Ant tasks.

Here is an example syntax:

<taskdef name="stopScenario" classname="com.ghc.ghTester.ant.StopScenario" classpathref="tasklib" />

<stopScenario domain="<Domain name>" environment="<Environment name>" name="<Scenario name>" 
serverUrl="https://Hostname or IP address:5443/" />

The following table lists the attributes that you can use with the stopScenario Ant task for stopping a scenario.

Table 1. List of available attributes
Attribute	Description	Required
async	Run asynchronously (flag).	No, default option is synchronous.
domain	Domain name	Yes
environment	Environment name	Yes
failureProperty	The name of a property that is set in the event of a failure.	No
haltOnFailure	Set to true to fail the Ant script if the scenario fails to stop (flag).	No, default value is false.
name	The name of the target scenario to start.	No
owner	Filters the scenarios by owner.	No
securityToken	Specify the security token generated for you to authenticate with Test Virtualization Control Panel when the domain security is enabled. In the locked environment mode, the operation can be performed by the user who locked the environment.	No, default is to send no token.
serverUrl	URL of the Test Virtualization Control Panel	Yes
username	Specify the user name to authenticate with the server if the environment is locked and the domain security is disabled.	No
