In Adeptia Connect we have recently added the capability to test your B2B connections before activating them. For example, your connection is pulling all the Inventory Items from NetSuite and converting them into an export file and dropping that file into a Dropbox folder. Or your connection is pulling all the Orders from Shopify and creating Invoices in QuickBooks. After configuring these connections you can test whether they are setup properly or not by selecting the Test feature.
Test feature automatically pulls sample data records from the source application and loads that data into the target system. You can choose whether you want to load the data all the way into the target system or if you only want to test the extraction and conversion of data. If there are any errors at runtime due to misconfigured properties or data integration failures, such as incorrect data mapping rules, thenthose errors are shown in the test results. With the help of these error messages in the test results, users can go back and fix the setup issues before activating the connections.
Here are some of the screenshots that show how the Test feature works.
Use Case 1: Testing NetSuite to Dropbox Inventory Connection
In this example, we ran the NetSuite to Dropbox Inventory connection and can see the results of the test. The logs show the size of data extracted from NetSuite, it also shows the status and start/end time of the transaction.
Use Case 2: Testing Dropbox to QuickBooks Journal Entry Connection
In this example, we ran a test file with General Ledger data and loaded it into QuickBooks in order to create Journal Entries. The test snapshot below shows that the file is being fetched from the Dropboxaccount and the records are being converted and loaded into QuickBooks as Journal Entries.
Use Case 3: Testing BambooHR to REST API Connection
Suppose you have published an API that takes Employee data from BambooHR and updates your backend Payroll systems. To test the connection, user would see the sample record that the Test feature would use to validate the connection setup.
In the below screenshot, we see that the Test feature has selected a few sample records from BambooHR.
After clicking on run, the test results are shown along with the status of the execution.
In this example, the test shows that all the steps of the process from the step of extracting the Employee data from BambooHR to the step of loading that data into target application which in this case is Dropbox were completed successfully.
