  - 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.
      - Accessing and using Ant tasks
        You can use the Apache Ant tasks package provided with HCL DevOps Test Virtualization Control Panel (Test Virtualization Control Panel) that contains the Ant tasks with which you can control the environment, scenario, and stubs in Test Virtualization Control Panel.
      - Generating Ant scripts to run tests or suites
        You can generate Ant scripts from HCL DevOps Test Integrations and APIs (Test Integrations and APIs) by using the Integration Tester Test Execution plug-in. You can use the generated script to run test resources automatically from within Ant by using the IntegrationTester Ant task.
      - Exit codes for Command-line client and Ant client
        The HCL DevOps Test Integrations and APIs (Test Integrations and APIs) Command-Line Client and the HCL DevOps Test Virtualization Control Panel (Test Virtualization Control Panel) Ant Client applications share the same exit codes.
    - 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.
    - 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.
