Test automation tool integration

OpenText Service Virtualization can be integrated with OpenText test automation tools. The virtual services are managed via the tests, and the performance monitors exposed by the virtual services are used by the performance testing tools.

For details on currently supported versions, see the Compatibility with OpenText solutions.

User authentication

For integration of OpenText Service Virtualization with another OpenText test automation tool, follow these recommendations:

When logging in to the OpenText Service Virtualization machine and the integrating tool's machine:

  • do not use local users with the same user names but different passwords
  • it is preferable to log in with domain users only
  • if permitted by your Windows administrative policy, set the Account lockout threshold to 0

In Windows Performance Monitor on the OpenText Enterprise Performance Engineering/OpenText Professional Performance Engineering Controller machine, verify that you are using the correct username, password, and computer name format for the relevant OpenText Service Virtualization performance counters.

OpenText Functional Testing

OpenText Service Virtualization projects can be integrated with OpenText Functional Testing. For details, see the OpenText Functional Testing help.

The virtual services are then managed by the test after the integration.

  • The simulation start is triggered by the test start. Make sure that the virtual services are already deployed on the OpenText Service Virtualization Server.
  • Particular data and performance models can be selected for the test.
  • Simulating or Standby modes using the real service are chosen during the test.

OpenText Performance Engineering

OpenText Service Virtualization projects can be integrated with OpenText Enterprise Performance Engineering tests (support is limited to older versions - see Support Matrix for details) or OpenText Professional Performance Engineering scenarios. For details, see the OpenText Enterprise Performance Engineering or OpenText Professional Performance Engineering documentation.

The virtual services are then managed by the test after the integration.

  • The simulation start is triggered by the test start. Make sure that the virtual services are already deployed on the OpenText Service Virtualization Server.
  • Specific data and performance models can be selected for the test.
  • Simulating or Standby modes using the real service are selected during the test.

Performance monitors exposed by virtual services are used immediately in the LoadRunner Enterprise or LoadRunner Controller. The performance monitors exposed by OpenText Service Virtualization are named Services and Operations.

  • The Services performance counter provides measurement data per virtual service.
  • The Operations performance counter provides data per virtual service and service operation.

For more details, see Performance Monitoring.
