Complexity. Made Simple! Multiple layers of technology Multiple vendor platforms Complex transactions Complex dependencies Multiple stakeholders

Integration Testing 8

Blockers of early end to end testing Some of the services we need are still unavailable! We re still waiting for them to deploy! The test environment refresh takes 3 weeks!! Can we begin some testing before everything is available? It is too expensive to setup a live message feed for test!

No need to modify application code Simplifies management of Stub execution Enables simple versioning of stubs Variety of tools to enable creation of virtual service eg recording Enables traceability over where stubs are running Removes delays caused by late delivery of external interfaces Frees projects from external constraints eg databases, app servers Provides audit of who ran stubs and when Speeds up development of stubs for testers and developers Stubs can be reused and embellished to support different test cycles Removes the need for costly 3 rd party interface leasing Allows control over datasets being used across an environment Let s developers get on with developing code not stubs Enables erroneous data to be played back into systems Puts testers back in control and removes dependency on other teams Easily simulate +1 changes to interfaces and environments Enables multi interface, complex and stateful simulation easily Limits risk and lowers integration issues when going into production
