Testing & Validation

After defining your integrations, it is important to test and validate to ensure the integrations to ensure they are functioning as expected.

The following steps are involved in testing and validating an integration solution:

1. Define test cases: Define a set of test cases that cover all of the different scenarios that the integration solution is expected to handle. This should include positive test cases (i.e., scenarios where the integration solution should succeed) and negative test cases (i.e., scenarios where the integration solution should fail gracefully).

2. Set up test data: Create test data that can be used to validate the integration solution. This should include sample data that represents the types of data that the integration solution will be processing in production.

3. Execute test cases: Use the test cases and test data to validate the integration solution. This involves setting up the test environment, executing the test cases, and verifying that the results match the expected results.

4. Validate results: Validate the results of the test cases to ensure that the integration solution is functioning as expected. This should include verifying that data is being transferred correctly, that data transformations are working correctly, and that error handling is working as expected.

5. Repeat as needed: Repeat the testing and validation process as needed until the integration solution is working as expected. This may involve fixing bugs, making changes to the integration solution, and retesting.

6. Monitor and maintain: Once the integration solution is up and running, it is important to monitor it to ensure that it continues to function as expected. This may involve regularly checking for errors, monitoring performance, and making changes as needed to keep the integration solution running smoothly.

Using Test Manager within Justransform, test cases can be created to check data is being transferred correctly between systems and applications. These can be executed repeatedly at regular intervals; validating results, repeated as needed, monitoring and maintaining the solution after it is launched.
