Testing software should not be done by any human, repeating the same thing over and over again is prone to errors. And if the input is unreliable the output will be inconsistent and useless.
You need a robot to do your bidding.
An AS400 robot.
The robot is an automation framework for use in an IBM AS400/iSeries system. This means that the robot makes it possible to run a 5250 system exactly like a user, using the same screens and commands.
Perfect for testing.
Testing makes perfect.
Acting like a user is ideal for testing proprietary 5250 applications. Because no reverse engineering is needed the robot can be relied upon for any type of functional or regression testing.
The anatomy of a robot.
The robot is a software package with two parts; one part Java and one part AS400/iSeries. Record the steps in a 5250 session, add variables in a Java script, and run everything in a 360 service.
Since the robot is executed in 360 you can set it up to be triggered via a scheduler, a REST call, when a file is copied to a folder, as part of a larger solution, or when a message arrives on an IBM MQ queue. The setup can be as complex or simple as you need it to be.
Where do we start?
Let's meet to discuss your needs. It's easy to setup a proof of concept and we will not charge licensing fees until you run the robot in production.
