What is QA Hiperstation

Compuware Hiperstation is a suite of tools that streamlines the testing process and helps improve the quality of your applications. The Hiperstation tool suite offers these products:

•Hiperstation for VTAM provides the means for testing applications that use a 3270 user interface, or SNA LU0/LU2 communication protocols via unattended and interactive tools. It also provides an Automated Testing Vehicle (ATV) Manager and an auditing function for security monitoring.  

•Hiperstation for Mainframe Servers includes support for testing applications using HTTP and HTTPS protocols. It includes SNA testing support and expands this support to test APPC/LU6.2 applications.  

•Hiperstation for WebSphere MQ enables the testing of applications that use WebSphere MQ.  

All of the Hiperstation products include the following functions:

•Record: Captures user sessions on a keystroke-by-keystroke or message-by-message basis. This is accomplished through a global record function for ALL components and interactively in the case of 3270 applications.

•Playback: Re-executes previously recorded sessions either online in interactive or non-stop mode, or in a batch job.

•Comparison: Compares the output of the current playback session with the recorded session.

Each of the components also has specific capabilities to aid testing in their respective environments. For advanced testing, Hiperstation incorporates IBM's REXX script language, allowing you to customize and enhance script creation, playback, and reporting.
