they use exceptions correctly.

7 CONCLUSIONS

The first goal for this thesis was to implement tools for testing the message servers.

Second goal was implement a tool for monitoring the correctness of messages’ content.

These two goals could be reached by the implementation of the Message Viewer appli-cation with the features: message can be viewed in a field and segment level in a parsed message tree, old messages can be manually modified, re-send and re-received.

For the MV application client the XML client implementation techniques and Microsoft Visual C++ used with TietoEnator’s Phobos Library of Interactive C++ Classes were studied and the advantages and disadvantages for both techniques were evaluated. There were not found any major preference in either of the techniques. And both techniques could have been used in the final MV implementation.

Based on the studies of both implementation techniques, Visual C++ used with Phobos library and XML techniques, and considering the fact that MV application would be need in a short time it was considered more reasonable to implement MV application using know Visual C++ and Phobos technique. The three-tier TUXEDO was chosen to the architecture of the application. These technologies were chosen because the risks with new technology were wanted to minimize. The procedure to implement the MV application was figured out and based on the procedure the application was imple-mented.

The studied implementation methods are general and can be used when implementing similar applications into similar environments. Also the steps to implement MV applica-tion with XML were figured out for later projects of similar type. The major advantage of XML was that is was suitable for structural data as Fenix Standard Messages.

The third goal for this thesis was to analyze current message error monitoring concept and seek amendments for it. That goal was reached by finding technical solutions to shortages in the current Event Log program and exception handling problems.

With the Message Viewer application can be met the most of the current integration and system test requirements, but it is not enough for the message regression testing. In the future the mentioned Virtual Mill idea could be further studied and even better message

testing platform for the message regression testing could be developed. Current Mes-sage Viewer implementation is good base for that project.
