How is normal testing differ from Integration testing? Ans:First, integration project architectures are message-based, not code-based, and the failure points are generally in the messages, not in the code as they would be in an application development project. This kind of testing requires stubs more than a application testing does Testing in an integration project needs to focus on the messaging. Both the business and technical team members need to think about message flows and logic, and the tools they use should be designed to support messages. Message testing tools, on the other hand, are designed to test at the message level and to pinpoint message problems. Organizationally, teams need to think not just about their code, but how it affects both input and output components. Most application development teams don't have the vision or the technology to validate their systems operation in the overall enterprise. An integration project may also include many different technologies, such as XML, MQ, TCP/IP and others. Integration teams need tools that work with many technologies so they can validate the technology handoffs, as well as the business logic. Finally -- and most importantly -- it is almost impossible in a large integration project to orchestrate an end-to-end test with application test tools. What integration projects need is the ability to test early in development. They need to unit test, and component test, pieces of the logic before all the pieces are available. ------------- MBA Examination papers
