QAHiperstation
Automated testing for VTAM applications
Providing systems and application programmers and quality assurance personnel with the right tools can significantly reduce testing time and improve application quality. For mainframe-based applications, QAHiperstation delivers complete testing functionality for automating test creation and execution, test results analysis and documentation. QAHiperstation's powerful functions and features enhance unit, concurrency, integration, migration, capacity and performance testing. Advantages include:
Test creation
QAHiperstation's advanced record capabilities allow you to capture user transactions. The organizational record capability lets you capture any 3270 terminal activity and, optionally, LU6.2 conversations and web messages. Further, QAHiperstation enhances the creation and maintenance of the test data environment with data management capabilities.
Test execution
With QAHiperstation, you can re-execute previously recorded sessions in a simulated production environment. You can play back your test scripts in slow motion, full-speed interactive mode or unattended mode. QAHiperstation provides unparalleled capabilities for controlling and executing realistic performance or volume tests. QAHiperstation's script processors add flexibility to the testing process by significantly expanding its playback facility.
Test results analysis
To increase accuracy and efficiency in analyzing test results, QAHiperstation automatically compares the output of the current playback session with that of the recorded session.
Test documentation
QAHiperstation's advanced documentation capabilities allow you to track the results of your testing activities for audit purposes.
Integration with other Compuware products
Testing with QAHiperstation, in combination with other QACenter and File-AID products, reduces the time usually required for testing from days to hours. Key integration points include the following:
- An interface between QAHiperstation and Compuware's File-AID products helps position test data for re-execution by making it possible to invoke File-AID browse, edit, backup, restore and extract functions from QAHiperstation's record or playback/compare screens.
- QAHiperstation test scripts can be automatically executed through QADirector.
- QAHiperstation's integration with QAHiperstation+ makes it possible for users to perform mainframe application testing from the convenience of their PC—this capability is especially important for less-technical analysts.
