E-business and Partner Validation

E-business initiatives were among the first to exploit integration. Their groundbreaking use of integration technology streamlined business processes, compressed supply chains and connected business partners in ways that offered faster and more comprehensive service to clients. Processes have been simplified through the use of complex architectures built with messaging and integration.

E-organizations know the testing challenges of validating integration effectively. Not only do project teams need to validate data flowing through their own systems, but they also need to coordinate partner validation. Traditional GUI testing doesn’t provide the validation required. By testing at the message level and across technologies, Solstice follows an E-business process where it flows and provides an end-to-end view.  

Testing message flows through systems is traditionally a QA role. Without access to the integration, QA is forced to request additional development resources to write extensive one-off stubs and harnesses. Solstice provides E-business organizations the ability to generate test cases that represent the complete range of message transactions that will be exchanged between organizations. Solstice’s revolutionary module Simulator can emulate either the partner or the host company and provides the ability to isolate each organization’s testing independently. An automated partner certification program reduces coordination and improves communication and timing of deployment. With a repeatable program, partner deployments are optimized – saving time and money while building strong partnerships.
