Testing with LISA for Documentum/EMC Customers

Why is LISA an ideal choice for testing your Documentum/EMC implementation?

While you can test your Documentum systems with any number of test tools, ITKO's ability to test every layer of the application throughout project delivery, and extend this testing to your services and after-deployment IT teams makes LISA an ideal selection for quality assurance and risk management.

Built for distributed environments

• Tests the front end UI of your applications AND the business logic and transactions that happen in the middle tiers.
• One LISA test case can exercise multiple websites and back-end components
• Point-and-click connection to every object with live test interaction, rich performance data and exception monitoring.

Single product for performance, unit and functional testing

• Reuse and leverage any functional or regression test as a dynamic load test
• Merges extremely well with existing developer unit test and build efforts, launch LISA from JUnit/Ant and vice versa for new capabilities
• Flexibly make tests that simulate the entire workflow for every virtual user, with no "assumptive load" or estimated metrics

Codeless test authoring and execution

• Developers code less, and test more, while non-programmers can get involved much quicker in the testing process to ensure requirements are being met.
• No new script language to learn, and no constant script maintenance to perform.
• Never write another test client or wait for a UI to be completed before testing again.
• Declarative test creation process leads to tests that maintain context instead of breaking with each change to the app, meaning your test suite survives and gains value over time.

Lower total cost

• LISA's Licensing model encourages more testing at a lower price. You buy only seat licenses and a server with pooled virtual users you can schedule against ANY app or server you want to test. No per-app, per-server, per-technology, per-test fees means you test as often as you need to.
• Rapid installation and fast learning curve, saving significant implementation and training cost and letting your team focus on project success.
• Extremely lean system overhead requirements allow you to generate more load with much less hardware and bandwidth, though you can still simulate any system or network conditions.
• Saves huge time and cost of issue resolution.

Used at Documentum for their own development

Documentum has been conducting functional, regression and load tests with LISA for more than 6 years in their own internal product and knowledge centers. As more Documentum testing is conducted by customer companies, a library of common best practices is developed for testing these multi-tier applications.
