Integration Flow

The integration flow includes the following steps.

  1. The test case developer adds an application-specific integration filter to a test case. When the test is run, the filter turns on integration support for the type of application indicated. For example, the test case developer adds a Servlet Filter to test an integrated servlet.
  2. When the server is invoked, test-enabled server components use the application-specific integrator class and the TransInfo class to establish the communication with the running test case. For example, if a servlet fails in some way, it can call TransInfo.setBuildStatus() to note the failure to DevTest. For more information about the TransInfo class, see the JavaDocs in the doc folder of your installation directory.
  3. The filter automatically processes responses from the system-under-test. The filter logs important information and processes any commands from the tested component.
