Testing applications

The test and performance tools provide support for the following types of testing:

• Performance testing of HTTP applications
• JUnit testing

Although each of these areas of testing has its own unique set of tasks and concepts, two sets of topics are common to all test types: creation and use of datapools, and creation of test deployments.

Providing tests with variable data
If you associate a value in a test with a datapool column, the test substitutes column data for that value when it runs.

Creating a test deployment
This topic describes how to create a deployment for your test suite. You must create a deployment before you can run a test.

Launching tests from scripts and applications
This topic describes how to launch tests programmatically via scripts and applications.
