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.
Testing with TIBCO applications
To use HCL DevOps Test Integrations and APIs (Test Integrations and APIs) to test TIBCO messaging, you must configure and run Test Integrations and APIs with the TIBCO messaging plug-in. Doing so supports TIBCO Rendezvous messaging ("plain" TIBCO Rendezvous messaging and TIBCO ActiveEnterprise (AE) formats), TIBCO EMS messaging, and sending and receiving AE messages by using TIBCO EMS.
TIBCO BusinessWorks and Design Time Libraries
In HCL DevOps Test Integrations and APIs (Test Integrations and APIs), you can synchronize with a TIBCO BusinessWorks project or Design Time Library.
Monitoring TIBCO BusinessWorks
You can configure BusinessWorks (BW) to publish tracing messages by using a Rendezvous transport. These tracing messages record the progress of the various steps in the business processes under test. HCL DevOps Test Integrations and APIs (Test Integrations and APIs) can be configured to listen to these messages in order to produce fully detailed reports, including timings and coverage (that is, how much of the BW project is tested).
Configuring DevOps Test Integrations and APIs for TIBCO Business Works
You must configure HCL DevOps Test Integrations and APIs (Test Integrations and APIs) to work with TIBCO Business Works.

  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.
    - Testing Java™ applications
      You can use HCL DevOps Test Integrations and APIs (Test Integrations and APIs) to test Java™ applications.
    - Testing Java™ Message Service (JMS) systems
      Use the generic JMS plug-in to connect HCL DevOps Test Integrations and APIs (Test Integrations and APIs) to a wide range of EAI platforms, which includes any vendor that provides an implementation of this Java™ standard. JMS provides a way of separating the application from the transport layer of providing data. The same Java classes can be used to communicate with different JMS providers by using the JNDI information for a specific provider. The classes first use a connection factory to connect to the queue or topic, and then use populate and send or publish the messages. On the receiving side, the clients then receive or subscribe to the messages
    - Testing Java™ objects
      You can import Plain Old Java™ Objects (POJOs) from JAR files into HCL DevOps Test Integrations and APIs (Test Integrations and APIs) in order to parse and construct messages containing the serialized forms of those objects. You can construct and parse the Java objects and perform validation, but you cannot test the objects directly.
    - Testing with Apache Camel components
      You can use HCL DevOps Test Integrations and APIs (Test Integrations and APIs) to create tests and stubs by setting up an Apache Camel component in a Test Integrations and APIs project.

A service-based test or stub can then send and receive a message containing a serialized form of a .NET object from the assembly file. You can construct and parse the .NET objects and perform validation, but you cannot test the objects directly.
    - Testing the migrated Postman collections
      You can migrate Postman collections and environments that you created in Postman to HCL DevOps Test Integrations and APIs (Test Integrations and APIs). Operations, transports, tests and stubs are automatically created during migration and you can run the tests and stubs in Test Integrations and APIs.

Configuring DevOps Test Integrations and APIs for TIBCO Business Works

You must configure HCL DevOps Test Integrations and APIs (Test Integrations and APIs) to work with TIBCO Business Works.

About this task

In the Physical View of Architecture School, do the following steps:

Procedure

Ensure that you added a TRA file (properties.cfg from TIBCO Designer or a BW TRA file). You can add a TRA file when you import the BW project, but you can add one later as well.
In the Logical View of Architecture School, set the binding per environment to the required TRA by right-clicking as shown.
Confirm that the RV trace messages can be received by Test Integrations and APIs. Test Integrations and APIs TRA file must be configured with the same tracing parameters in order for it to be able to generate full BW test reports. In most instances, Test Integrations and APIs is running on a different server from BW and you must ensure that the RV trace messages can be received by Test Integrations and APIs. If the two machines are not on the same broadcast or multicast network, it is necessary to configure the Test Integrations and APIs RV daemon parameter to connect to the remote RVD. You would need a setting for each type of trace message (Info/Warn/Error/Debug) but a single example follows:
```
Trace.Debug.Publish.Daemon=tcp:remoteserver:7575
```
