Test Client preferences

You can set test settings for the local test environment that are used by the IBM® Integration Bus Test Client.

You can configure the settings for the test in the Deployment Location wizard, or on the Test Client preferences. If you configure the settings on the Test Client preferences, these settings are applied to all tests. You can access the Test Client preferences by using the following instructions:

Click Window > Preference. The Preferences dialog is displayed.
Expand the item for Integration Development on the left and click Unit Test Client.

Use the following fields to define the default settings for the Test Client:

Enable menu options for Test Client: By default, the menu options to launch the Test Client (available from the context menu of message flows and the context menu of message flow nodes) are disabled, and users are encouraged to use the Flow Exerciser to check the operation of their message flows, see Testing your message flow by using the Flow Exerciser. If you want to continue to use the Test Client, select this option.
Seconds to wait for deployment completion: The amount of time in seconds to allow for deployment. The default value is 20.
Seconds to wait after Test Client complete the deployment: The amount of time in seconds to wait after the Test Client completes deployment. The default value is 0.

Show information dialog before disconnecting the debugger: Select this option to display a dialog when you use the Test Client in Run mode if the flow debugger is already connected.
Seconds to wait for test client to stop: The amount of time in seconds to wait before ending the test. When the number of seconds has elapsed, monitoring of output nodes is stopped, and a Timeout event and a Stop event are displayed in the Test Client. The default value is 120.
