TIC Product

Automate Web Service Testing

Do you know if your NonStop or .NET Web Service applications can support the traffic load? Are the programs robust enough to handle different error conditions? The only way to ensure that is to incorporate good testing before the application is deployed. And the latest product from our partner Canam Software has the best tool to make that job easy.

expressSOAP automates the testing process by generating SOAP messages automatically from your WSDL! Just point and click and hundreds, thousands or tens of thousands of SOAP messages can be generated and posted to a web service automatically, whether it is on the NonStop, .NET, Java or even the Internet.

expressSOAP makes it easy, quick, and automatic.

TIC Tech

Donald Wickham

If you are looking for a more "modern" programming language to replace COBOL on NonStop, you should look into using C++, which is a powerful and efficient language available for the NonStop platform. We at TIC have been using C++ for over 10 years with Tandem Development Suite (TDS) and Enterprise Tool Kit (ETK) with Visual Studio to develop high performance NonStop applications. Donald Wickham, our Chief Architect, has over 30 years with NonStop development and is well versed in C++ and C# on Windows and NonStop platforms. In this month's TIC Tech column, Donald covers one of his super technical C++ projects: development of a NonStop Log Server.
