Abstract
End-to-end testing of applications across networks is enabled. To test the application and the infrastructure subsystems, an application server connected to the network contains an application under test. A response simulator is connected to the other end of the network. A test module is accessible to the application and to the simulator and contains a test message to be transmitted to the simulator, and an expected response message from the simulator. The application transmits each test message and compares a response message from the simulator to an expected response message. The simulator obtains the response to each test message from the test module.

7. A method executed by a computer for enabling end-to-end testing of network applications, comprising
controlling an application under test connected at one end of a network to transmit a test message in a test module to a response simulator at the other end of the network, receiving a response message from the simulator to the test message, wherein the response is dictated by a module identical to the test module, and comparing the response message to an expected response message contained in the test module.

13. A computer program product comprising:
-
a computer readable storage medium having computer readable program code embodied therewith, the computer readable program code comprising; computer readable program code configured to control an application under test connected at one end of a network to transmit a test message in a test module to a response simulator at the other end of the network; computer readable program code configured to receive a response message from the simulator to the test message, wherein the response is dictated by a module identical to the test module, and computer readable program code configured to compare the response to an expected response contained in the test module. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18)
