The testing software now supports applications using independent auxiliary storage pools.
Original Software today announced the release of TestBench for System i V7, the latest version of the company’s database management and verification solution. The application now includes support for double byte character sets (DBCS) and IASP support. “With this latest update, our entire solution suite is now DBCS capable,” said Colin Armitage, CEO of Original Software.
“We’ve experienced increasing demand for our solutions in enterprise accounts, many with operations in far eastern geographies. Although quite a niche field, no other supplier has capabilities to support DBCS for testing green screen apps or at the database level. For the modern business, being able to comprehensively test systems in all its operating geographies is simply a must,” said Armitage.
TestBench V7 now supports applications using independent auxiliary storage pools (IASPs). An IASP allows another instance of an application, using the same library names and list structure, to coexist with the application instance loaded on a partition’s base storage pool making it very easy to switch between versions without the need to reload software or restart the i5/OS partition. All TestBench modules have been updated to include full IASP support.
Central to Original Software’s "top-to-bottom" philosophy, TestBench is the only software testing solution with the unique ability to analyze what happens in the database as a result of the test process and to validate against predetermined business rules. It also addresses the creation of cutdown, representative test environments, scrambling, and obfuscation of personal data and supports re-use with a database "undo" option. All this functionality is now available for System i, Oracle, and also SQL Server back-ends.
A recent report by industry analyst group Ovum commented that “no other functional test suite that we are aware of covers test data management to this extent. It is Original’s most powerful differentiator."
