The TIBCO development capability is a core part of the AIPEX service offering. AIPEX consultants have extensive experience in implementing and maintaining TIBCO based solutions. This has provided an insight into the development and production issues facing any organisation that uses TIBCO within the enterprise architecture.

Testing and Tracking

AIPEX is the Asia-Pacific distributor for a suite of TIBCO Test, Monitor and Tracking tools developed by UK based Green Hat Consulting, a TIBCO Alliance Partner. The product offering consists of GH Tester, GH Viewer and GH Tracker.

These tools are important assets for any organisation interested in automating testing, monitoring performance and independently logging events in a TIBCO environment. The tools have the capability to transform TIBCO from a "black box" infrastructure component into a "white box" element of a well understood and managed enterprise architecture.

GH Tester

The GH Tester provides a graphical interface based regression test tool for the TIBCO environment. The tool is also flexible enough to be used to develop TIBCO test harnesses and stubs, through a GUI based programming interface, in order to assist the integration test phase.

The real power of this tool is in the ability to capture and replay TIBCO messages, individually or in groups, and then compare output messages with known "golden" test results.

GH Viewer

The GH Viewer provides visibility, in a simple to understand graphical format, of what is really happening in a TIBCO environment. This presents an opportunity to intelligently capacity manage the network resources supporting a TIBCO environment.

The tool is able to establish the "normal" operating characteristics of the network and operating components. This in conjunction with the ability to record historical results provides the capability for production assurance engineers to unequivocally demonstrate any unexpected changes in normal operations arising from change management exercises.

GH Tracker

The GH Tracker provides the ability to record the activity in a TIBCO environment into a relational database for subsequent analysis. This analysis can range from capacity planning to transactional reconciliation.
