\nWe used IDocs as interfaces in this example for simplification. It could also be any other message format message, like EDIFACT, Enterprise Service, etc. There can be also many more steps in between, to match the business process in your company.<\/p>\n
Key advantages<\/h2>\n
In this scenario you benefit from the following features:<\/p>\n
\n- Execution automation<\/strong><\/span> – all steps are performed automatically by Int4 IFTT, without the need for manual operations, which, in real life, usually involves different people from different teams,<\/li>\n
- Validation automation<\/span><\/strong> – all results are validated automatically by Int4 IFTT, and the validation is always very detailed, on a field level, by comparing fields in the message or fields in the database,<\/li>\n
- Virtualization<\/span> <\/strong>– no need of involving other systems in the testing process, as they can be virtualized by Int4 IFTT.
\n<\/div><\/li>\n<\/ul>\nAll in all, this speeds up the testing process significantly. I have been to projects where manual testing of such scenarios would take days and would involve different teams and systems to execute and validate it. With Int4 IFTT you get it in seconds and at a very comprehensive level!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
The challenge In such scenarios, it is sometimes challenging to test an application interface as a standalone solution. For example, to be able to test an inbound interface that creates a purchasing invoice, you need a fresh set of the purchase order and inbound delivery. That means every time you want to re-test the invoice, […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":9,"featured_media":6135,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"content-type":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[178,9],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n
