DevTest Console

The web-based DevTest Console provides access to the following consoles and dashboards:

Reporting Dashboard

A report viewer displays event and metric information, and information that is derived from data that was captured during the running of tests. You can use a staging document to set the events and metrics to capture for reporting purposes.

For more information, see Reports in Using CA Application Test.

Continuous Validation Service

The Continuous Validation Service (CVS) lets you schedule tests and test suites to run regularly over an extended time period.

For more information, see Continuous Validation Service (CVS) in Using CA Application Test.

Server Console

The Server Console enables you to manage labs and to configure role-based access control. The Server Console is also where you access the VSE Dashboard.

VSEasy

VSEasy lets you create HTTP service images and service images from VRS files. You can use VSEasy to create stateless virtual services for HTTP with SOAP, JSON, XML, or HTML payloads.

For more information, see Cloud DevTest Labs, Access Control (ACL), VSE Dashboard, and Create and Deploy a Virtual Service with VSEasy in Using CA Application Test, Administering, and Using CA Service Virtualization.

Open the DevTest Console

You can open the DevTest Console from the main menu of DevTest Workstation or from a web browser.

The DevTest Console home page lets you access the Reporting Dashboard, the CVS Dashboard, the Server Console, and VSEasy. The home page also includes a link to the CAI portion of the DevTest Portal. The lower right area of the home page displays the version number.

To open the DevTest Console from the DevTest Workstation main menu:

  1. Select View, DevTest Portal from the main menu.

    A login dialog appears.

  2. Enter your user name and password, and click Login.

To open the DevTest Console from a web browser:

  1. Ensure that the registry is running.
  2. Enter http://localhost:1505/ in a web browser. If the registry is on a remote computer, replace localhost with the name or IP address of the computer.

    A login dialog appears.

  3. Enter your user name and password, and click Login.
Web Server Timeouts

By default, the web server that the DevTest Console uses waits 90 seconds for a process to run on the server. If a process takes longer than 90 seconds, the connection is aborted and the client application or browser handles this abort appropriately.

You can change the default timeout value by adding the lisa.webserver.socket.timeout property to the local.properties file. The value is in milliseconds. For example:

lisa.webserver.socket.timeout=120000
