BEA Platform Library

Solstice Integra Platform Library for BEA marries BEA’s focus on leveraging business integration to transform your business with a service-oriented approach and Solstice’s comprehensive testing that bridges traditional integration and emerging SOA.  BEA promises a unified SOA platform in order to reduce IT complexity in mostly heterogeneous environments.  This is essential to delivering the flexibility required by today’s demands for innovation and change.

With goals of fast-to-market application changes and high reliability and uptime, it is essential to assure the integrations prior to production.  While BEA streamlines the integration layer, composite applications remain complex with connectivity reaching through BEA’s WebLogic to web services and third party systems, and perhaps across other messaging transports such as MQ.  Solstice brings a unified testing platform with Solstice Integra Suite and Solstice Integra Platform Libraries to accomplish true automated end-to-end integration and SOA testing.  Without automation, getting to production faster can be compromised by repetitive manual test creation and execution.  Further, there is no documentation of the complete process end-to-end to assure lower defect rates and complete coverage.  Solstice’s thorough process-level tracing provides root cause analysis to support high availability environments when troubleshooting of the applications is needed to minimize downtime.

Solstice Integra Platform Library for BEA offers a comprehensive lifecycle solution to allow testers and developers alike to design robust SOA testing scenarios for BEA WebLogic that are specific to their individual testing requirements, whether unit, acceptance, regression, integration, or interoperability-driven. Tests scenarios are code-free, highly configurable, and stored in a central repository to maximize re-use across distributed teams.  BEA recognizes the value of not writing code to enable multiple roles to work with their platform.  Solstice expands this concept by integrating with other testing tools such as JUnit, Ant, and Mercury Quality Center.  This supports collaboration across the life cycle and provides a unified process for application and service management.

Testers can functionally certify web services as well as underlying EJB/JMS implementations. Powerful recording and simulation capabilities allow testers to plug holes in end-to-end testing scenarios and eliminate the typical integration project delays related to unavailable systems.
