Automated Testing for Mainframe Integration ProductsTHE CUSTOMER A world leader in data connectivity and mainframe integration software. They offer the most comprehensive line of software for connecting critical applications to data and services, running on any platform, using proven and emerging standards.
THEIR NEED The customer had a mainframe integration suite developed over eight years and did not have any formal testing carried out on their products during this time. As they were embarking on an exercise to enhance existing products and add new features, they felt a need for automating their product suite and wanted a dedicated product testing team to do this. They wanted this team to bring in process discipline and automate testing of both the existing and new product features.
OUR DEED Aspire defined a framework to increase the reuse of scripts and thus minimized product maintenance. Aspire also used test automation tools and developed automation scripts that were highly robust, configurable and reusable. In one instance, the use of automated test scripts reduced the test cycle for ODBC/JDBC driver development from 3 weeks to 2 days. Aspire continues to fine-tune the customer's automation processes, automate new test cases and ensure high-quality product releases. View the full story (PDF)  |
