  • Publication number: 20080300814
    Abstract: An interoperability replay system and method allowing products that were not included in an interoperability test event to participate as if they were part of it in the past. On method comprises replaying to them the choreographies of the digital exchanges between the products in the previous interoperability test event. Choreographies are the digital interchanges between Systems-Under-Test (SUT) and include, but not limited to, the business process protocols, their data and logic exchanges supported by all subsidiary (underlying) layers of the protocol stack including digital security. Choreography may be between only two SUTs or among several SUTs assuming different roles and coordinated amongst each other to complete the business process. The business process may be composed of several transactions. This invention includes the collection and replay of these choreographies and all subsidiary protocol layer digital exchanges among the SUTs during an interoperability test event.

  • Patent number: 7237014
    Abstract: The present invention discloses a system and method for performing interoperability testing. The method comprises sending a command from a server module to a client module, receiving the command at an application under test module via a shared directory module between the client module and the application under test module, executing a test at the application under test module based on the received command, and sending results of the test from the application under test module to the server module via the shared directory module and the client module, wherein the test is executed, and the results of the interoperability of the application between the client module and server module are sent, in a real-time, low-intrusive, supply chain setting.
