WebSphere MQ Workflow 3.4 Generic C API Test / Prototyping Tool

Added Value for Customers

  1. Education
    1. Reduced training time for application developers who can use the tool to educate themselves.
    2. Using the tool allows application developers to get instant feedback with little effort. This is true for writing new scenarios and equally for changing existing ones.
  2. Prototyping
    1. Rapid application prototyping saves time and costs through:
      1. Easy definition of an API scenario in a script language
      2. Using tool macros (for example, copying container values from input to output containers)
      3. Using the tool no matter on what platform it is used and even without a compiler
    2. Performance measurement
      1. You can save costs by using the tool for performance measurements on APIs and prototypes. Knowing about performance early in a development cycle reduces the need for redesign, code restructuring, or rewriting application code.
    3. Simulation of heavy load on clients or servers
      1. You can save costs when you know early about the behavior of a client application (prototype) in the customer network.
        1. You know the influencing factors early enough for network design and/or model design.
      2. You can save costs when you know early about the behavior of servers under heavy load, for example, if large applications (prototypes) communicate with one server
        1. You know the influencing factors for hardware configuration and/or model design.
