GH Tester as part of your Project Lifecycle
GH Tester helps you in major project stages such as design, build and test.
During the design phase of a project, GH Tester helps analysts and developers by allowing them to create instances of messages to build a message catalogue. This simple additional step of creating messages before any coding takes place ensures that developers on both sides of the messaging interface can actually see solid examples of what they are supposed to be coding to. Testing can commence immediately. Anyone using a formal development process will realise this corresponds to creating test cases before development commences, totally conformant with RUP, ICONIX and other methodologies.
In the build phase of a project, there is a general need to publish or send messages. Conventional vendor supplied tools make this process painful at best and impossible at worst. GH Tester provides a simple yet powerful graphical interface to allow messages to be created quickly and published to the bus with minimal effort.
There is a need to receive or subscribe to messages, and see the results in a format that makes sense. GH Tester displays messages and their headers and contents using a tree, allowing users to quickly navigate to areas of interest.
GH Tester can send a request-reply format message and automatically display the returned result.
Any message received can be republished easily. Messages can be edited before republishing, and saved to a file for sharing with colleagues, either locally, or remotely via email. A sequence of messages can be replayed with various options, allowing them to be sped up or slowed down.
The purpose of the test phase is to find faults. Most test teams also provide some diagnosis, enough to help the developers reproduce the problem. GH Tester has specific features to aid this process. GH Tester indicates exactly where in the message there is a problem, as well as recording the information in a detailed report.
