GH Tester

A good integration strategy will design the business process automation and message catalogue and then assign individuals or teams to create the components in isolation. Towards the end of the project, integration testing begins and the problems commence. The cause of the problem is easily identified: the messages further up the chain were not available for testing.

GH Tester has been designed specifically to solve this problem. Messages can be created (or captured from the bus) and replayed at will. Test sequences can be designed without writing a single line of code to regression test your component or to virtualize a missing component. By sharing the message definition between consumer and producer, both sides of the interface can test with the same data, eliminating nasty surprises at integration time. GH Tester has been created to address all the problems inherent in testing systems that do not have graphical user interfaces.

Its powerful test suite can be used to quickly create virtualized versions of adapters still under construction, and enable users to continue design and implementation of workflows without waiting for the real adapters.

Features include:

• Automatically create test plan documentation.
• Schema-aware message editors for XML (DTD and XSD), SOAP (WSDL) and AE.
• Support for many different protocols, including JMS, IBM MQ, Sonic MQ, TIBCO, TCP/IP, UDP/IP and SmartSockets. An API let's you write your own transports.
• Functional component simulation.
• Automatic test reports created from test results.
• Regression testing.
• Record and playback messages.
• Integrate tests with databases.
• Manipulate XML documents.
• Edit messages using intuitive GUI, or a text editor in XML.
• Capture messages, edit them and republish them.
• E-mail messages to colleagues in remote locations.
• Share messages with other Green Hat, an IBM Company, products.
