POP and PUSH Testing Framework

The POP and PUSH (P&PT) testing framework's goal is to provide a platform for combining Six Sigma testing techniques with IBM App Connect microservices. In the same way that a recording reel of film records a snapshot of test case data, the P&PT will record a snapshot of test case data. It is digital proof captured throughout the lifecycle of an App Connect Enterprise application, from development to production (application lifecycle), using Git and Jenkins' workflow.

Introduction

In reaction to the business scenario, the project's test case count increases. As the test case repository grows like the General Sherman Tree grows: the goal is to reduce the amount of time spent on manual testing (operations).

Automation of Business Transaction Reconciliation

Reducing time for disaster recovery is crucial for organizations needing to achieve operational resiliency. This article helps CIOs, CTOs and IT development teams understand the complexity of maintaining stateful transaction processing with participating applications, auto reconciliation and visualization. It also provides information for organizations setting up high recovery mechanisms for transaction reconciliation and settlement in case of failure, as well as transaction disruption events during a network failure.

Problem Statement

Many organizations spend huge amounts of time manually settling business transactions when there is a complete fail-over of an application or site zone failure to another application site zone. The fail-over condition arises due to uncontrolled network failure, OS failure, hardware failure or DR drill. The availability and processing of time-bound and business-critical transactions across application site zones are needed by many organizations, especially financial institutions. The automation of this requirement needs technical support and solution implementation.
