Regression Testing

Once an integrated system is assembled, the next challenge is an assessment and creation of a regression test to assure the risk thresholds of an organization are met. Fortune 500 customers report that 50% of their critical data is behind the screens. With so much vital data in message pipes and the permutations and combinations of paths through the system growing with every system change, regression testing the integration increments become the only way of assuring that integrated systems will work properly. For those teams who have done component testing, individual component and end-to- end tests can be combined into regression suites. For those teams who are starting a regression initiative from scratch, Solstice’s recording capability can help them quickly create the test cases and suites to build their regression library. Solstice provides the only repeatable Enterprise Integration Testing tool that tests a process step-by-step as it moves through applications and across protocols. By capturing the message traffic between systems, Solstice’s regression tests can isolate problem components, or provide a step-by-step view of an entire process. Each step and its content is saved into baseline tests and suites that can exercise tens of thousands of alternatives with the click of a button.
