Running Application Integration Tests
Scenario – Everyday development for Business change
Makes application code changes
Creates/modifies Unit Test(zUnit) cases
Runs build with tests and code coverage
Repeats process till changed code is tested and passed
Check in code and tests to the SCM
Has the ability to download & run the transaction level tests from a recording
Deb,The Developer
Verify if mismatches are as expected – If required, re-record
What can Deb verify?• The impact of her change before deployment
• The mismatches that will indicate where the mismatch is – and if that is expected. E.g. Program B gets a mismatch because of a change and Deb expects a mismatch only in Program A and Program D
