Will TestMaker work for Java Client / Server applications as well as Web applications?
Yes, TestMaker is appropriate for testing Java Client / Server applications. For example, Sun Microsystems engaged PushToTest to use TestMaker to test its bug tracking system. Sun deploys a Java application to provide a Swing-based user interface. The application makes soap calls to a middle-tier that then makes calls to a Siebel host, Oracle database and LDAP server. TestMaker drives the bug tracking system by making calls directly to the command objects in the Java application. By varying the number of concurrent requests and implementing the behavior of archetypal users, the TestMaker system can report on the functionality, scalability and performance of the bug tracking system.
