Accelerated testing for SOA applications and web services
IBM® Rational® Service Tester for SOA Quality is a functional and regression testing tool that enables code-free testing of non-GUI services. Rational Service Tester for SOA Quality helps software delivery teams ensure the functionality, interoperability and performance of service-oriented architecture (SOA) software and web services.
Rational Service Tester for SOA Quality helps software teams perform and deliver quality assurance.
- Create, modify and execute functional and performance tests.
- Simplify testing with automatic test generation for non-GUI web services and composite applications. No coding is required.
- Generate easy-to-use, real-time reports of test results.
- Perform incremental, agile testing on a flexible, scalable platform.
Create, modify and execute
- Accelerate test creation with intuitive script-free test authoring. Spend more time testing and less time writing test cases.
- Validate functionality at the individual service level and at the composite application level.
- Monitor and customize tests with the graphical tree view of web service calls and responses.
Simplify testing with automatic test generation
- Create tests automatically using Web Services Business Process Execution Language (WS-BPEL) as the model.
- Test standalone entities with the built-in web services explorer to test interactions with a web service.
- Improve test coverage with data-driven testing. The software automatically detects variable data from data pools and uses the data pool for new test data.
Generate easy-to-use, real-time reports
- The graphical test editor enables both a high-level and a detailed view. A pass or fail grade provides a quick view of test status.
- Visual test results give you a full transaction log to help with debugging.
- Real-time reporting displays server response times and throughput.
Perform incremental, agile testing
- Integrates with the IBM Rational Jazz™ Eclipse client for IBM Rational Team Concert™ and IBM Rational Quality Manager servers.
- Supports broad platform monitoring for deployed web services to quickly enable problem determination of server resource data.
- Supports most common web service standards such as WSDL, SOAP, XML/XSD, JSON, HTTP(S), JMS, IBM WebSphere® MQ, and WS-Security.
