8.8 Automated functional tests Automating your functional tests might be a good idea depending on your project size and how complex the requirements of the project are. Scripts execute much faster than people, but since they are not automatically generated, so someone has to create the scripts at least one time. It is possible to create a script to cover all functions in your application, but it would be complicated and costly. A good idea is to create scripts for the main features of the system and those that will not change that much over the time, so every time a new build is published by an automated build tool or a human, you can be sure that the application still works properly. IBM offers a rich set of software tools for implementing automated test solutions. These solutions solve many common problems and therefore reduce complexity and cost. For more information, see the article Rational Functional Tester at the following Web page: http://www.ibm.com/software/awdtools/tester/functional/ 8.9 Test environments Before moving an application into production, it is important to test it thoroughly. Because there are many kinds of tests that need to be run by different teams, a proper test environment often consists of multiple test environments. Tests cases must be developed according to system specification and use cases. Do this before the application is developed. System specification and use cases need to be detailed enough so that test cases can be developed. Test cases need to verify both functional requirements (such as application business logic and user interface) and non-functional requirements (such as performance or capacity requirements). After creating the test cases and with sufficient developed functionality in the application, start testing. 296 WebSphere Application Server V7.0: Concepts, Planning, and Design
Figure 8-2 shows an overview of a recommended test environment setup. Development Environment SCM Build Server Load Balancer HTTP WebSphere Database, backends Production Environment Figure 8-2 Test environments Integration Test Environment HTTP, WebSphere, Database HTTP WebSphere Database System test Environment Acceptance test Environment Load Balancer HTTP WebSphere Database, backends Whether you choose to use some of these test environments, all of them, or use additional test environments depends on the system being developed, project size, budget constraints, and so on. Each environment is maintained as a separate cell in order to completely isolate the environments from each other. For smaller environments, a single application server profile is usually sufficient, while larger ones might need a deployment manager for that particular cell environment. Chapter 8.
