This is the recommended test procedure for testing components in the
WebSphere business integration system:
- Set up Visual Test Connector to emulate a source connector.
- Launch Visual Test Connector as described in Starting Visual Test Connector.
- Create a profile for the source connector in the interface as described in
"Creating a new profile".
- Connect Visual Test Connector to the agent to begin emulating the source
connector, as described in Emulating a connector.
- Set up instances of Visual Test Connector to emulate each destination
connector involved in the interface.
- Launch Visual Test Connector as described in Starting Visual Test Connector.
- Create a profile for a destination connector as described in "Creating a new profile".
- Connect Visual Test Connector to the agent to begin
emulating the destination connector as described in Emulating a connector.
- Repeat 2a through 2c above for all destination connectors involved
in the interface.
- Arrange the instances of Visual Test Connector on your screen so that you
can easily identify the connector being emulated in each Visual Test Connector
window.
- Send a request business object from the source
connector. From the source Visual Test Connector, do the
following:
- Create a business object that is managed by the
interface you need to test as described in "Creating request business objects".
- Save the business object to a file to use in subsequent tests as described
in "Saving a business object".
- Send the business object as described in "Sending request business objects".
- Simulate the response to the request business
object from the destination connector. From the destination Visual Test
Connector window, do the following:
- Accept the request business object as described in "Accepting a request business object".
- Send the business object as a response as described in "Sending a response business object".
- Repeat step 4 through step 5 as many times as necessary to test each
interface.
