Testing SAP NetWeaverTM with LISA
The complete test creation and automation solution for SAP-enabled Enterprise Apps and SOA
SAP NetWeaver (SAP NW) provides an open architecture and integration platform, which allows enterprises to implement their business processes as services. It allows integration of people, information and business processes across business and technology boundaries. SAP PI (Process Integration) gives this platform capabilities to connect, mediate, transform and route services seamlessly.
As service integration and SOA platforms like SAP NW have become the technical backbone of leading enterprises, development teams have looked for ways to ensure greater levels of quality in all of the distributed layers of their applications.
However, in order to truly exercise these integrated business processes and complex applications, we need to test the functionality that affects performance and process accuracy for the end user. We need to prove that the entire distributed SAP NW based application functions and performs to meet the business requirements exactly as it is deployed. iTKO LISA was built from the ground up for this very purpose.
Features
LISA provides an ideal automated testing solution for SAP NW customers, offering a new level of breadth and depth that allows the entire team to own quality.
- Built for SAP NW. Support business context and workflows established in SAP PI, across the entire app lifecycle and technology stack. Trigger business processes in PI by directly invoking exposed interfaces using any of the built-in adapters: XI, SOAP, HTTP, File, JDBC, or JMS. Place and intercept messages, and implement real business workflows.
- Cross-component BPM Validation. Validate entire business process workflows that utilize SAP Cross-component BPM and allow quality efforts to span across business systems. One LISA test case can follow a complex workflow and validate multiple web sites, web services, Java objects and application servers. LISA supports active sessions, SSL, authentication and magic strings, so it lets you test systems just as your end users will. On the back end, LISA provides live interaction and deep testing of any component or service you can access over the Internet.
- Synchronous and Asynchronous processes. LISA can act as both producer and consumer for synchronous and asynchronous services in PI. LISA Virtualize provides simulation and emulation capabilities which eliminate the need to have the complete partner environment in any B2B communication. Using LISA, virtualize any partner behavior and test your business processes from end-to-end.
- Across the full development lifecycle. Directly invoke and automate testing of SAP NW, web sites, web services, databases, and more. Then reuse those same unit and functional tests as regression tests included in your builds. Then take those same test cases and turn them into load and stress tests that can run continuously from LISA Server, to ensure that as your SOA system evolves, your workflows maintain integrity.
- Continuous Validation. LISA orchestrates test suites against your entire SOA, so as the heterogeneous Services and their implementation layers evolve, your testing ensures that the application will meet business requirements. Lisa's continuous testing capabilities provide the confidence to support mission-critical business applications in an evolving application model.
- LISA Virtualize. The Virtual Service Environment in LISA allows you to capture, emulate, and simulate the behavior of Services and their underlying mainframes, data and systems of record, thereby freeing your teams from the expense and effort of attempting to maintain a realistic environment to work against. This feature of LISA can save millions of dollars and months of time in the lifecycle by virtualizing away constraints and allowing multiple teams to work in parallel.
