Host Adaptor examples

Through the Host Adaptor, TAST connects with a 3270 Host to perform tests into it. It’s possible to perform single tests with this adaptor or end to end tests connecting with other adaptors either.

This is an example of a UML Diagram which uses the Host Adaptor.




This is an example of interactions between the 3270 Host Adaptor with other adaptors in an E2E test.




As part of the mapping process, you should provide the Adaptor’s information, regarding to connect and use it:

• Host: Name of the machine or IP address. Required. SESSION_HOST.
• Port: Connection port. Required.SESSION_HOST_POST.
• LU Name: Name of the connection LU, optional.

• Client_Certificate_Autentication: Certificate for Authentication.
• Personal Certification: Personal certificate for Authentication.
• Personal Certificate File Path: Path to the Certificate for Authentication.
• Personal Certificate pass: Pass to the Certificate for Authentication.
• Certificate Name: Name of the Certificate.

• Certificate Source: Source to the Certificate.
• Certificate URL: Url to Certificate.
• Prompt_Required: PromptRequired.
• Certificate_Based_Keys: Certificate Based Keys.
• SSL: SSL.
• KeyStore_FilePath: KeyStore File Path:.

After the test set execution, immediately you have the results. There are two main elements you can verify:

• Logs: The step by step information of the execution, with:
  • the results.
  • the methods had been executed.
  • the timelines.
• Evidences: The screenshots or evidence information by step, in case they have requested.
