Service and ESB Simulator available in Software, VMWare, and Cloud Image

CloudPort is an affordable, easy-to-configure, comprehensive service simulation product for developers and testers. CloudPort enables SOA professionals to significantly reduce project expense and duration by allowing parallel development of the client and service components of a SOAP, XML or REST based service. Simulations can run on the desktop, from a central network location, on vmware, or on the elastic cloud. This provides a simple, effective way for clients and testers to test the service endpoint or message bus before the actual service is available. Once the service becomes available, the testing framework and client development has already been completed, allowing the timeline of the entire project to be optimized.

Diagnotstics mode, Governance Mode, and Performance Mode simulation settings enable CloudPort to be leveraged for a variety of tasks that improve ROI, optimize processes, and facilitate more reliable and resilient client and trading partner integrations.

Client Transaction Governance

Enables validation of clients by providing a Virtual Interface for clients to communicate with to validate the message flows and business logic. Rules can be created on CloudPort to report on conformance of client to the expected integration requirements of the service. This allows the virtual service integration to provide feedback as to when the client is ready to communicate to the actual physical services.

 

Performance Mode Services

CloudPort can be used in place of infrastructure to enable performance testing of various components of the SOA architecture by removing the bottlenecks each component may cause. CloudPort performance mode services connections across a threaded model which provides TPS rates exceeding 1000 Transactions Per Second on a single Simulation Server instance.

 

Large File Streaming Attachments

CloudPort provides a streaming attachment module which allows testing and simulation of MIME, DIME, and MTOM transactions with very large (2GB) file sizes. The streaming technology dramatically redudces the memory requirement to service multiple file transfers on a single machine by streaming the data from file directly to the socket, with only nominal physical memory requirements. This allows environment to validate capacity and throughput expectations for SwA based transactions.

 

ESB Message Queue and Endpoint Simulation

Real-time transaction viewing and analysis of request/response data from targetted HTTP or HTTPs inbound transactions, or from setting up CloudPort to act as a message broker between IBM MQ, Tibco EMS, Weblogic JMS, or native JMS queues. CloudPort removes the need to have a back-end server process the queues,and can replicate the processing behavior and virtual this in the running simulation.
