GH VIE (Virtual Integration Environment)

Dependencies on third party applications and systems delaying your project?
Wasting money on access fees, licences & equipment for end-to-end testing?
Want to run what-if scenarios during performance testing?

GH VIE (Virtual Integration Environment) addresses all these issues and more, allowing you to create understandable, virtualized applications without relying on teams of developers for coding. You can choose the Essentials or Advantage Edition, depending upon the complexity of your test requirements and environment. Discover how GH VIE how benefits your Agile projects, assists performance testing and saves you license costs.

GH VIE (Virtual Integration Environment) eliminates the need for the historic approach involving developer created "stubs". Now testers can be in control with codeless virtualized applications, which can be readily shared and easily updated as underlying systems and data change. GH VIE can be used in multiple scenarios. The use of virtualized applications is not restricted to tests executed by GH Tester: Manual testers and developers can also get the full benefit of VIE as it can run stand alone in any testing scenario or any development environment.

GH VIE architecture

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

GH VIE and GH Tester work together seamlessly:

1. Trigger – the tester sends a message to the system under test that it needs to talk to other systems.
2. The virtualized application receives the request from the system under test and can validate that the message received is as expected.
3. The virtualized application decides how it will respond to the message (e.g. error, look up request, timeout).
4. The system responds to the original request and GH Tester can validate that response sent back is correct.

GH VIE is part of the GH Tester suite, not another “product”, so when GH Tester starts a test, it can automatically start the necessary virtualized applications to go with it, ensuring that unresolved system dependencies can be satisfied. The user is in control of which virtualized applications are used, allowing a wide variety of different situations to be modelled, depending on the testing scenario. GH VIE is seamlessly integrated into GH Tester, with flexible, cost-effective pricing.

GH VIE is available in two Editions, each suited to particular testing needs. GH VIE Essentials is included with every copy of GH Tester, whilst GH VIE Advantage is an additional product that seamlessly integrates with GH Tester and allows for more advanced demands such as remote execution, virtualization of databases and Cloud support.
