HCL Technologies Ltd on May 02, 2007 has announced the launch of two TIBCO-based solution frameworks - CrossFIT, a cross-platform framework for application integration testing, and ProcessWatch, a SOA-based process and Business Activity Monitoring solution framework. Both frameworks are being showcased this week at TIBCO Software Inc.'s (NASDAQ; TIBX) Users Conference (TUCON 07), a premier event for attendees to learn from TIBCO experts how Companies around the world are implementing service-oriented architecture (SOA), Business Process Management (BPM) and business optimization.
"Enterprise Application Integration Testing and Business Activity Monitoring are complex, time intensive tasks for today's organizations, spanning multiple applications, platforms, hardware and software," stated Vikram Duvvoori, Vice President and Global Head of Middleware & SOA Practice, of the Company. "With these two solution frameworks, TIBCO customers can decrease integration testing time by up to 40% and effectively monitor complex transaction-driven processes with 15% lower costs."
With the CrossFIT framework to manage and automate enterprise application integration testing, Companies can easily develop, orchestrate and maintain distributed test cases. CrossFIT supports multiple platforms including several versions on UNIX, Linux and Windows. In addition to being easy to learn and deploy, it is also minimally intrusive. Furthermore, CrossFIT supports configuration management for systems under tests, including test case, test scenario and test data leading to significant time savings. CrossFIT supports several standard testing tools and scripting languages, including Tcl, Perl and Java.
Facilitating an end-to-end process-centric view of business transactions, the ProcessWatch SOA-based process and Business Activity Monitoring solution framework is capable of monitoring various types of transactions, including financial, freight, logistics, energy trading. Built with TIBCO BusinessEvents, TIBCO BusinessWorks and TIBCO General Interface, the framework consists of four key components: a correlation engine, to capture events and apply business logic; a correlation database, to store events prior to analysis; a Web Services Host, to expose the correlated data as Web Services for external access; and an Event Dash Board, where the data is viewed via a Web browser.
The Company's Middleware and SOA Practice is comprised of more than 400 professionals. As a result of a strong partnership between the Company and TIBCO that spans over seven years, more than 250 Company's consultants are well versed in the TIBCO tool set.
