LISA Editions
LISA stands for "Learn, Invoke, Simulate, Analyze," which describes the core engine that drives the many types of tests LISA can build and run directly against the systems under test. Sounds a little too scientific? Whatever your role in IT, the fully integrated LISA Suite of products can test from design, to development, and throughout deployment to meet the full quality lifecycle needs of enterprise software and SOA applications.
LISA 4 SOA Testing Suite Editions include:
LISA Enterprise
Functional Testing
Integration Testing
Business Process Validation
LISA Server
Load & Performance Testing
Virtual Service Environment
Continuous Validation Service
LISA Server Editions
iTKO's LISA Server automates and schedules LISA test cases and suites, providing sophisticated staging, user simulation and continuous build and performance test orchestration capabilities for a constantly evolving SOA application environment. Shared test resources such as LISA Virtual Users and Virtual Services are pooled and distributed from the LISA Server. LISA users interact with the LISA Server through the user interface of a LISA Enterprise testing client.
Load & Performance Testing
Load testing has changed from an exercise in deployment to a vital step in the agile (iterative) development process. Waiting for a completed application to stress test at the user interface level is no longer an option. LISA allows for testing individual components, process, and workflows during design and development, during integration, and in deployment. Individual functional tests and system-wide business processes are load tested using the same environment, resulting in efficient test coverage, with rich functional and performance metrics and reports.

Virtual Service Environment (LISA VSE)
The next chapter in virtualization is here. LISA VSE offers unmatched value for testing changing implementations, by capturing and modeling Virtual Services within LISA that provide a robust behavioral simulation of the Service and its underlying implementation layers. With VSE, multiple teams can design and test services in parallel, without the burden of relying on live service implementations or maintaining costly replicated test environments. Read more >>
Continuous Validation Service (LISA CVS)
Catching system dependencies and the unintended consequences of changing service behaviors at build, and in deployment, is accomplished with LISA's Continuous Validation Service. Application and system validation starts with automated Continuous Build and regression testing of services, through Continuous Deployment monitoring and validation of SOA Policies, service usage and dependencies across multiple systems, ensuring inter-component trust and governance.

LISA Enterprise Editions
The iTKO LISA Enterprise workstation provides a comprehensive, no-code environment for creating, maintaining and staging LISA tests against every layer of SOA applications. LISA Enterprise provides a test client to directly invoke and verify business requirements at the service component level, at the integration layer, and across the entire workflow that makes up a business process. LISA directly invokes and verifies multiple technologies by presenting an intuitive test interface, so both developers and non-developers can get involved in the testing effort at every stage in the software lifecycle.
The tests developers and testers create in LISA Enterprise maintain their business context, so they can be reused and leveraged by LISA Server for scheduling and automation of load, performance, regression and functional tests, ensuring that the SOA application will meet business demands in deployment.
Functional Testing
LISA now allows QA, Development, and Business Analyst teams to test rich browser and web user interfaces, as well as the many building blocks and data residing below the UI. With LISA, all of the SOA and implementation layers the team needs to functionally test can now be analyzed, invoked and verified to ensure requirements are met. Read more >>
Integration Testing
LISA's Integration Testing tests "the lines between the boxes," ensuring interoperability, predictable project delivery and end-to-end quality for all major integration platforms, including IBM MQ-Series, TIBCO, webMethods, Oracle FUSION, Sun JCAPS, Sonic MQ, Fiorano and other leading providers. LISA provides the largest breadth of native integration testing capabilities, from unit and functional testing, through load and deployment testing. And Governance Read more >>
Business Process Validation
Business Process Validation requires deeper collaboration between the system designers, implementers and end users. Working with your process tools, LISA provides a rich feature set for discovering, modeling and validating complex business workflows across multiple technologies. LISA's business context provides visibility into every underlying behavior and root causes of functional and performance issues. Read more >>
Platform
LISA Extension Kit (LEK)
The LISA Extension Kit gives you powerful extensibility features to bring testability to your legacy and custom-developed components. iTKO built LISA's core testing engines so new test steps can be created to "learn" how to talk to your applications. In addition, the LISA Extension API allows developers to embed testability within custom or legacy code, providing rich test feedback and instructions from within the application under test.
