Manage Testmonitor Data in DBArtisan as a JDBC Source

The CData JDBC Driver for Testmonitor seamlessly integrates Testmonitor data into database management tools like DBArtisan by enabling you to access Testmonitor data as a database. This article shows how to create a JDBC source for Testmonitor in DBArtisan. You can then edit data visually and execute standard SQL.

Integrate Testmonitor Data into DBArtisan Projects

Follow the steps below to register Testmonitor data as a database instance in your project:

1. In DBArtisan, click Data Source -> Register Datasource.
2. Select Generic JDBC.
3. Click Manage.
4. In the resulting dialog, click New. Enter a name for the driver and click Add. In the resulting dialog, navigate to the driver JAR. The driver JAR is located in the lib subfolder of the installation directory.
5. In the Connection URL box, enter credentials and other required connection properties in the JDBC URL.

   Start by setting the Profile connection property to the location of the Testmonitor Profile on disk (e.g. C:\profiles\Testmonitor.apip). Next, set the ProfileSettings connection property to the connection string for Testmonitor (see below).

   Testmonitor API Profile Settings

   Generate a token in TestMonitor by navigating to My Account > API > Create Token. Your Domain is extracted from your account subdomain.

   Built-in Connection String Designer

   For assistance in constructing the JDBC URL, use the connection string designer built into the Testmonitor JDBC Driver. Either double-click the JAR file or execute the jar file from the command-line.

   java -jar cdata.jdbc.api.jar
   

   Fill in the connection properties and copy the connection string to the clipboard.

   

   Below is a typical connection string:

   jdbc:api:Profile=C:\profiles\Testmonitor.apip;ProfileSettings='APIKey=your_api_key;Domain=your_subdomain';

6. Finish the wizard to connect to Testmonitor data. Testmonitor entities are displayed in the Datasource Explorer.

You can now work with Testmonitor data as you work with any other database. See the driver help documentation for more information on the queries supported by the Testmonitor API.
