Enabling end-to-end testing of applications across networks
First Claim
1. A system for enabling end-to-end testing of applications across a network, comprisingan application server connected to the network and having an application to be tested,a response simulator connected to the other end of the network,a test module accessible to the application server and to the simulator and containing a test message to be transmitted to the simulator and an expected response message from the simulator corresponding to the test message,a control module for controlling the application under test to transmit each test message and to compare the corresponding response message from the simulator to an expected response message, whereinthe simulator obtains the response to the test message from the test module.

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 system for test an application across a network, comprising:
-
an application server connected to the network and including an application to be tested; a response simulator connected to the network; and a storage device having stored therein a test module associated with an identifier, wherein the test module storage is connected to both the application server and the response simulator, the test module includes a test message and an expected response to the test message, the application server is configured to send the test message, over the network, to the response simulator, compare the received expected response from the response simulator to the expected response from the test module, the test simulator is configured to identify the identifier associated with the received test message, retrieve, from the test module and based upon the identifier, the expected response, and send the expected response, over the network, to the application server. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10, 11, 12)
