Automated Testing for Cognos

New in MotioCI™ 2.1...

Automated Test Configuration. New features in MotioCI™ 2.1 simplify test case creation. Drag & Drop pre-configured parameters, assertions and test cases. Auto-generate tests at the suite level; regular expressions, parameters, views, saved outputs, etc are automatically applied to test cases within a test suite. Clone previously executed test cases with saved outputs.

Regressing Testing.  MotioCI™ provides powerful testing capabilities for BI content. Test cases can be created to ensure that a report produces the expected output within pre-determined time constraints. These tests ensure that your reports are always producing accurate data and meeting their performance expectations. It also gives you an early warning when modifications to the model or underlying database cause performance degradation in reports. MotioCI™ Automated Regression testing will also enforce standards and consistency across all project reports ensuring correct parameter names, colors, fonts, and logos. 

Stress Testing.  MotioCI™ gives BI teams the ability to simulate varying levels of load on your Cognos environment to identify and analyze performance bottlenecks before they become major issues in production. 

 

 

  Continuous Verification.The MotioCI™ continuous integration capabilities allow customers to automatically apply all configured test suites at regular intervals (e.g. "run all tests every 2 hours"). This enables MotioCI™ to act as a "smoke detector" for IBM Cognos environments by proactively notifying project stakeholders when a problem surfaces rather than relying on the end users to discover it.
