ESB and Integration Backbone Testing Streamlined with Pre-Configured
Test Suites and Services
DALLAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--iTKO, Inc., a leading provider of
testing solutions for integration and SOA (Service-Oriented
Architecture) software, announces enhanced native Integration Testing
capabilities, ensuring end-to-end quality for integration backbone
providers, including IBM MQ-Series, TIBCO, webMethods, Oracle FUSION,
Sun JCAPS, Sonic MQ and other leading providers.
“The first companies to understand and extend
their platform capabilities to support SOA were the major integration
vendors. Therefore, many customers justifiably think that SOA is really
about integration, and a reflection of the desire for better reusability
and interoperability,” said Chris Kraus, LISA
product manager, iTKO. “With standards like
WSDL and JMS becoming more pervasive, many SOA architectures are based
on platform-specific implementations of message buses, transformation
engines, and business process management.”
LISA not only tests standards like SOAP and JMS, but provides native
validation capabilities for products like TIBCO ActiveMatrix and
BusinessWorks, webMethods Broker and Integration Server, and many other
leading integration and SOA platforms. The ability to test previously
written integrations, along with the newer services written atop the
platform, provides better unit, functional, load, and end-to-end test
coverage.
“Many of our customers still need to do
automated functional testing of specific integrations, along with
testing end-to-end business processes,” said
Kraus. “More importantly, they are interested
in doing large scale load tests to exercise their new SOA applications,
and continuously test the third party services they rely on.”
With the increasing complexity and interconnectedness of integrations
and composite applications based on these platforms, manual testing of
User Interfaces (UIs) can no longer ensure quality. The ability to test
the UI, integration interfaces and services needs to be done in a highly
automated manner, while validating the underlying processes and systems
of record.
The increased breadth and depth of integration testing in LISA, along
with iTKO methodologies and test assets for specific platforms, gives
customers better risk management of their software delivery life cycle,
along with ensured reliability of their implementations long term. LISA
provides for complete, collaborative and continuous testing of shared
deployments that can span multiple divisions and business partners.
