Abstract
A tool is provided for testing integration logic in a hub-and-spoke integration scheme. The testing tool exercises all spokes of the integration project for all objects in the model. A test document is sent to each adapter, which converts the generic objects to application specific objects and then converts the application specific objects back to generic objects. The testing tool then documents the return document of each spoke. The result is a catalog of total mappings, partial mappings, and empty mappings. These results may be analyzed to identify disagreements, lost data, and unused fields. The model may then be corrected by updating the mappings.
