Green Hat releases GH Tester 2.5 for automating TIBCO EAI testing

Green Hat Consulting is pleased to announce the availability of GH Tester version 2.5.1. This latest release provides many significant enhancements, designed in response to customer feedback and to support Green Hat Consulting's forthcoming EAI Testing Methodology.

GH Tester provides significant benefits to your business:

Customers see a dramatic reduction in implementation times and costs, through automation of all aspects of the testing process - unit test, integration test, regression test and performance test.
Your EAI projects are delivered more quickly and with higher quality as a direct result of the use of GH Tester.
Your company can standardise on one testing solution.

Facilities available in version 2.5.1 include:

Powerful adapter stubs can now be built in minutes.
An enhanced "script" test step allows the execution of external commands to be included in the stub adapter and their output included in responses back to applications.
Example stub adapters are included to demonstrate the use of this functionality to replace key systems.
Xpath and regular expressions can be used to process incoming information and to create a response. In this way, GH Tester helps developers and test teams simulate complex adapters in a fraction of the time it would take to develop a solution using traditional code.
External programs can be used to view and edit fields. This allows integration with third party XML editors and other similar programs. This mechanism also allows GH Tester to display serialised Java or C++ classes.
Command-line support has been enhanced to make the full functionality of tests available without the GUI.

Sub-tests allow a single test to initialise several stub adapters, start a business process or adapter and run a series of tests on it, checking and reporting on the results.

Reporting has been greatly enhanced through the use of XML and XSLT to provide a more intuitive interface into test results. Over ten predefined reports are shipped with the tool and may be customised to correlate with customers' own standards. Repository integration is easier than before. GH Tester no longer needs to modify a repository in order to use it.

Existing customers may simply go to the website and download the latest version of the product for free : your upgrade is part of our service to you. New users are welcome to download this version for evaluation purposes: we believe it is the best yet and initial feedback from customers supports this view.
