In modern software development, speed means nothing without stability. Yet traditional testing methods are slow, brittle, and resource-draining — slowing down innovation and frustrating teams. ReplicTest empowers you to move faster without sacrificing quality by automating the most tedious and error-prone parts of testing.

With intelligent test script generation and seamless execution, ReplicTest enables your team to build rapidly, test intelligently, and release confidently — every time. Whether you’re scaling your QA process or just trying to eliminate manual testing bottlenecks, ReplicTest turns quality assurance from a chore into a competitive advantage.

This white paper explores all keys points, from a business and technical perspective, that would interest an IT department developing and maintaining software(s)

Re-use

Within ReplicTest you can integrate your legacy manual testing and any scripts or piece of script you already have:

From RPGUnit: RPGUnit, VSCode & Replictest

From SQL script: You can save IBM Access Client – Run SQL Script (RSS) on the IFS and they will be immediataly available in ReplicTest Framework & Dashboard. Your SQL will be callable with the ReplicTest cmd exewebsql interactively or in batch. You will be able to add conditioning code (if/else/endif) upon SQL results and monitor test status (failed/passed/etc…). Any running and replay will automatically be assigned with a Test-id & timestamp in the framework and be dynamicaly available on ReplicTest Dashboard for the technical team and management.

From CL or RPG or COBOL script with message(s) output: If you already have pgms, home made or not, doing some testing and using messages to output any results you can call them from within ReplicTest Framework. Any running and replay will automatically be assigned with a Test-id & timestamp in the framework and be dynamicaly available on ReplicTest Dashboard for the technical team and management.

From CL or RPG or COBOL script with DB output: If you already have pgms, home made or not, doing some testing and using Database to output any results you can call them from within ReplicTest Framework. Any running and replay will automatically be assigned with a Test-id & timestamp in the framework and be dynamicaly available on ReplicTest Dashboard for the technical team and management. But with Database in general you may directly leverage the inherent automation part of ReplicTest, see next chapter “Automate“.

Automate

The core value of ReplicTest is in its full automation capability:

• Automated Script Generation: With the capability to record end-user or machine activities, this feature automates & speeds up the creation of test scripts, minimizing manual efforts and errors while ensuring that the tests are accurate and consistent.
• Automated Database Encapsulation: Automatically encapsulates an image of tables or files used in your test-scenario for data initilisations and replay comparisons.
• Automated Messages Encapsulation: Automatically encapsulates messages sent in your test-scenario for replay comparisons.
• Automated Used object Encapsulation: Automatically encapsulates used objects in your test-scenario for replay comparisons.
• Concurrent Process Encapsulation (multi-job): This feature encompasses multiple jobs processes, especially efficient for Web app testing.  
• Multi-platform Processes Encapsulation: All test scenarios running on the IBM i can be integrated but also extensions or test scenarios running on other platforms.
• Shrink Data: Creation of data subset with only the database records effectively used by the test case. Enable & Increase tests replay frequency with a considerable reduction in turnaround times. This reduces data storage costs and speeds up test cycle times.
• Code Coverage & CC Merging: Ensures thorough test coverage by verifying that all code paths are tested, reducing risks of undetected bugs.
• Automation & batching of interactive processes as well: The capability to re-process in batch interactive processes is a fundamental milestone to a complete automation and true TestOps or DevOps operations. One of our label is “Zero Touch – 100% Batchable” testing.
• Resiliency to UI or DB changes: Maintenance of recorded test scenarios reduced to micro-element changes or reference only, not necessitating re-creation of script test. This safeguards the cumulative capitalization of your test scenarios.
• Workload Testing: Ensure efficient scalability with differentiated, real-world parallel testing stress simulations and avoid server downtime.
• Rich Dashboard: Rich and dynamic dashboards on testing outcomes, to ease managers and decision-makers working life, and to better manage the whole testing life cycle in real time.    
• AI continuous workflow integration: Capability to feed or test AI processes in a continuous workflow, this enables AI training models automation.
• Test Suite: Tests can be grouped and run all together   
• Pipeline integration: ReplicTest can be integrated with any DevOps pipelines

Leverage

The ease of use of ReplicTest enables anyone to record test scenarios, not ony technical peoples but also end-users that know very well your application.

ReplicTest offers a simple interface to enable test-scenarios recording: A simple “start” & “end” button that will automatically record human or machine activities and generate a test-script. For Web or green-screen app.

The number of test case recordings will enrich the quality of any of your regression testings and the higher is this number the higher is the quality outcome of your software. Added to the “shrink” capability of ReplicTest which is the ability to reduce test database records to the bare minimum necessary and sufficient you can get many test-scenarios and run them many time/anytime without speed or volume issues. This is the optimum situation for any release regression testing action.
