BMC Compuware File-AID vs BMC Compuware Hiperstation comparison

File-AID is Compuware’s cross-platform file and data management solution that enables developers and QA staff to quickly and conveniently access necessary data and files instead of hunting around for them. In turn, developers devote less time to data-related tasks and spend more time developing new functionality and managing production problems. Rightsizing your test data provides confidence to make code changes without unintended consequences.

File-AID gives developers the ability to:

• Effectively manage files and data across platforms
• Access all standard file types regardless of record length or format for application integration
• Automatically compare data files or objects to simplify the test results validation process
• Reformat files by easily modifying an existing file format instead of starting from scratch
• Extract and load related subsets of data from multiple databases and files
• Ensure all test conditions are met by selecting the precise application test data you need
• Customize test data for a particular application and specific conditions
• Automate these activities using tools you already own, such as Jenkins

Hiperstation provides automated functional testing capabilities that help DevOps teams reduce time-consuming, manual steps and ensure mainframe applications are thoroughly tested to safeguard superior performance, reliability and security.

Hiperstation enables developers to:

• Create automated, consistent, repeatable regression and performance tests representing application business requirements.
• Conduct pre-production performance testing for applications and systems software.
• Analyze test results in which all application response differences are identified.
• Thoroughly document mainframe application testing results.
• Simulate server application responses during a user interface test.
• Test changes to the operating system, language environment or subsystems.
• Test application changes without the user interface.
