Opening the integration test client

Depending on whether you want to test an entire module, a set of components, or a single component, you can open the integration test client from either the Business Integration view or the assembly editor.

To open the integration test client:
  1. If you want to test an entire module, choose one of the following options:
    • In the Business Integration view, right-click your module and select Test > Test Module.
    • In the Business Integration view, expand your module and then right-click the assembly diagram and select Test > Test Module.
    • Open your module in the assembly editor (and ensure that you press Ctrl-S to save any changes that you have make), then right-click an empty portion of the assembly editor canvas and select Test > Module.
    The integration test client opens. Any unimplemented components or unwired references in the module will be emulated.
  2. If you want to test a set of components or an individual component rather than an entire module, open your module in the assembly editor (and ensure that you press Ctrl-S to save any changes that you make), then choose one of the following options:
    • If you want to test a subset of components in your module, use the Ctrl key to select the components in the set, then right-click one of the selected components and select Test components.
    • If you want to test a single component in your module, right-click the component and select Test component.
    The integration test client opens. Any components that you did not select in the module will automatically be emulated regardless of whether they are implemented or not.
You can also open the test client by loading a saved test configuration or a saved execution trace, as described in the topics "Loading test configurations" and "Loading execution traces." If you want to use your own means of invoking an operation, such as a JMS message, Web service, or JSP, you can also open the integration test client by attaching it to a test configuration module. This is described in the topic "Attaching to test configuration modules."
When you have finished opening the integration test client, you will probably want to select an operation to test, as described in the topic "Selecting operations for testing."
