Compuware is providing support for the IBM WebSphere e-business software platform, enabling organisations to leverage their S/390 mainframe investments for e-business deployments.
QAHiperstation, part of Compuware`s QACenter family of integrated testing products, provides a complete solution for focused testing of S/390 business logic. QAHiperstation 7.0 now includes native support for S/390 applications accessed from a Web browser.
"By enabling Hiperstation for the IBM WebSphere software platform for e-business, Compuware can help businesses test application business logic in an automated and cost-effective manner," says Lipson Mphahlele, quality assurance account manager at Compuware SA
"Leveraging the WebSphere software platform helps customers be more competitive in today`s e-business market," he says.
IT organisations depend on the power, scalability and reliability of the S/390 to deliver critical software solutions. Today, they are extending that legacy by using S/390 applications to help meet new business requirements for applications accessible from the Internet.
The high visibility of these new applications and their potential impact to existing critical systems dictate that the applications must be thoroughly tested.
"Enterprise, Web and e-business applications on the S/390 are, by design, robust in functionality, targeted for large numbers of users and require constant updating," adds Mphahlele.
"Deploying these applications with confidence requires an automated testing tool to verify functionality and performance every time. QAHiperstation provides a simple and powerful tool for automating system, regression and performance testing.
