Configurations page of the integration test client

In the Configurations page of the integration test client, you can edit the default test configuration or you can create and edit new test configurations. This enables you to add modules to your test configurations, or add emulators and monitors to your test configuration modules, to more precisely control your tests.

The Configurations page is shown in the following figure:

As shown in the figure, there are four major areas of the Configurations page. These areas are described in the following sections:

Configurations area

The Configurations area provides a tree view of your test configurations. For any given test configuration, the following information is shown:

In the Configurations area, emulators for references have the following naming convention:

lastSegmentOfComponentName.referenceName

By comparison, emulators for components have the following naming convention:

lastSegmentOfComponentName.

And monitors have the following naming convention:

lastSegmentOfSourceComponentName.referenceName - lastSegmentOfComponentName

Control area

The control area provides the following buttons to help you manage your test configurations:

Add Opens the New Configuration wizard to enable you to add a new test configuration or add a module to an existing test configuration. The wizard also enables you to add emulators or monitors to test configuration modules.

Remove Removes selected test configurations or removes selected modules from a test configuration. It also enables you to remove selected emulators or monitors from a test configuration module.

Save Saves selected test configurations to a test configuration file.

Load Loads saved test configurations from a test configurations file.

General Properties

The General Properties area provides the name and description (if any) of a test configuration, module, emulator, or monitor selected in the Configurations area.

Detailed Properties

The Detailed Properties area displays the specific properties of any test configuration, module, emulator, or monitor that is selected in the Configurations area.

If a test configuration is selected in the Configurations area, the Detailed Properties area displays the name of any modules contained in the test configuration, as shown in the following figure:

The Detailed Properties area also contains a J2EE security User ID display field and a Logout button. If J2EE security is enabled for your test client server and you have logged in using a J2EE security user ID, the User ID field displays the user ID for the test configuration that is selected in the Configurations area. The Logout button enables you to manually log out of the login session.

If a module is selected in the Configurations area, the Detailed Properties area displays information about the deployment location of the module, as shown in the figure below:

If an emulator is selected in the Configurations area, the Detailed Properties area displays the hyperlinked name of the component or reference that is being emulated. You can click on this link to open the component or reference in the assembly editor. The Detailed Properties area also shows whether the emulator uses manual emulation or programmatic emulation. You can redefine a manual emulator as a programmatic emulator, or you can redefine a programmatic emulator as a manual emulator. The Detailed Properties area for a selected emulator is shown in the following figure:

If a monitor is selected in the Configurations area, the Detailed Properties area displays information about the wire that is being monitored, such as the hyperlinked names of the source component and reference and the target component and interface. You can click on any of the links to open the component, reference, interface in the assembly editor. The Detailed Properties area also shows whether the wire is being monitored for requests, responses, or both, which you can change if necessary. The Detailed Properties area for a selected monitor is shown in the figure below:
