Please explain XI Testing Procedure

[Former Member]

Hi All,

Could anyone please provide any good blog on XI Testing procedures ? what kind of testing tools we generally use in XI ?? what are the type of testing we do in XI and how ??

Hi,

What installations do you want to check??

XI is about messaging. So the way to test an XI implementation would be to test the messaging. Two options for doing that...

1. Test the implementation without the Application systems. The plain J2SE adapter really comes in handy here. You can use it to send an XML file to the Integration Server, check whether it is getting through the pipeline as intended (which means the routing, the mappings, etc), and let it pop out to a file somewhere. You can check all the steps the message has gone through from the XML monitor(sxmb_moni).

2. Test the actual implementation with the application systems. For this you would use the testing tools of the application itself.

I do not know of any automated tools for testing XI configuration, or any way of testing it without actually sending a message across.

Hi Jyoti,

Could you please explain, how we do Integration Testing and Acceptance testing in XI ?

hi,

search for Detroubulator tool (free) on SDN

this is a great tool for testing XI mappings

thanks a lot for u r answer.. i would like to know the standard prcedure we follow for xi testing ..

Hey

Follow like this

1. Test Mapping (MM Test tab using)

2. Unit testing : Test your scenario by using Test tab of RWB by disabling Receiver Adapter

3. Integration Testing : Once done test entire scenario and check the monitoring at each component for status.

4. Check at adapter CC,Messagingsystem,IntegrationEngine.

Lets see

1. Major testing for XI is on two parts.

a. Connectivity - This will handle the adapters. For example, did a file get picked up by the file adapter or did the RFC adapter make an RFC call or did a JDBC adapter post data to the DB etc

b. Mapping - this will be to ensure that your source data was transformed into the required target format.

2. Unit testing - the above two can be initiated by the developer or a peer

3. User acceptance testing will be something initiated when the interface is move to a QA environment. This should accompany the System integration testing when QA environments of your source and target systems are used. This will be almost close to a mock PRD test.

Well... what else are you looking to get answered?

Hi,

I would like to know,if there is any testing tool available in the market for Unit Testing, Integration testing and User Acceptance testing in XI ??

HI,

After succesfull completion of development and configuration scenario normally test the interface using different type of test data.

Unit Tesing of each and every interface,we will check the interface working propelyor not comparing with sample out with correct out put.

Uisng runtime work bench execution of interface what flag you getting in Moni.

Performance test we do ,
