Guidelines for Integration Testing

Completion of the Functional Testing process verifies that the Siebel application functions correctly as a unit. It is recommended that you use the following guidelines during integration testing:

• Use a repeatable, measurable, and documented process. For more information, see Figure 25.
• Verify that each unit functions correctly when you include it in the larger environment.
• To test the integration points between the Siebel application and other applications or components, define test cases. For example:
  • Back-office applications
  • Integration middleware
  • Network infrastructure components
  • Security infrastructure
• Make sure your test exercises integration logic.
• Make sure your test validates the business process.

Figure 25 illustrates the integration testing process.
