2. Sailfish Components and Concepts

3. Sailfish Deployment

4. Steps to Automate a Test Case

1. Create and configure a particular service. Make sure it works properly.

2. Make sure there are all required actions for implementing a test case

(send message, receive message, execute request, etc.)

3. Create a csv. matrix with a particular number of actions and specify

required action parameters.

4. Execute a test case and check the generated report for faults and errors.

5. Best Practice for Test Case Automation

Like all programming languages, AML has a number of rules which allow avoiding

several drawbacks and frustrations:

• Create independent test cases;

• Check a number of messages at the end of each test case to make sure there

are no redundant messages received;

• Check the order of received messages;

• Specify enough pauses between test cases to make sure there are no

redundant messages received after a test case has been completed.

6. Sailfish Future Improvements

• Add ability for several users to run a test script simultaneously

• Improve GUI of a test script and message pages

• Add interactivity in a test script running phase

• Separate WEB GUI from that part of the server

• Improve test report generator

• Improve the functionality to store messages to DB

7. Load Injector Components & Configuration

•Configure a number of connections

•Configure template messages

•Configure Load Shape for each connection or a group of connections

•Configure messages distribution for each connection or a group of connections
