Can we test service layer maethods using QTP. - akadia - 02-19-2008

i want to test methods written on service layer using QTP.is it possible?..though we don't have front-end ready and hence need to test service layer independently.

I am not aware of "service layer". Probably more details can help us in answering your questions better.

Judging from your question , you might want to go for Business Process Testing (BPT)

Our application is a web based application.we are using the following technology:
Technology: J2EE, Flex 3, MySQL

I need to test methods written in service layer without having any front-end(yet to be developed).We are contemplating to create a test suite which enables us test the business logic of application written in various methods in service layer.

Query: Can we test these methods using QTP ?

I am not very sure what all is covered under BPT:-(

waiting for the reply.

Refer HP Business Process Testing Software . They also offer a pdf to get started.

thanks for reference .i went through the pdf ... it doesn't provide the answer to the question i started this thread with :-(....if not QTP, can you please suggest some other tool to test the following:

A web based application butilt on the following technologies:

- J2EE environment using JBoss
- Deployment is on a Macintosh environment
- Services are built using Spring (http://springframework.org)
- Front-end is built using Flex (www.adobe.com/products/flex/) - still under development phase

Our needs with regards to the automated tools:

We want the capabilities to test our J2EE layer which is being built using the Spring services without a visual front-end. We have tools like testNG that are used for unit testing, but we want to extend the paradigm to do Functional testing as well.


Q1:Can we do the same with QTP?
Q2: If not QTP, Can you please suggest some other tool ?
