Data Editor for BHOM – new video available

We have added new features to our Data Editor for BHOM – among other things the automatic discovery of the enrichment tables, so you are up to speed even quicker !

So – right time to produce a short demo video – see below and turn the audio on.

ProactivePack TestManager

We are pleased to announce the release of our new TestManager module. TestManager automates Event Management functional testing, by allowing the definition and execution of event-based test scenarios.

Key features

  • Define complex test sets in a few clicks
  • Send events to BHOM, TSOM or other platforms
  • Send data
  • Check if event values match expectations (repeat count, state change, enrichment, notifications…)
  • Wait for user validation when the validation cannot be done automatically (E.G. reception of an email…)
  • Automate testing using the REST API

Added value

  • Structure and automate testing of event management scenarios to speed up time-to-production
  • Ease migration from TSOM to BHOM (BAROC- formatted events can be directly sent to BHOM)
  • Save time and money while reducing regression risks in complex event management environments.
