Rational Test Control Panel User Interface

The IBM® Rational® Test Control Panel user interface is made up of several pages. Use the pages to see schedules, agents, test results, environments and recorded events, and to do adminsitrative tasks such as managing users, domains and security.

The content on each of the pages is filtered, based on the domain that is selected.
