Organization of this subsection
(1) Offline Tester
(2) Online Tester
(3) MCF Online Tester

(1) Offline Tester

The Offline Tester is used for offline testing of UAPs that will be used for online processing. The Offline Tester is used before a UAP is used in an OpenTP1 system.

The Offline Tester can test the behavior of an SPP or MHP. Workstations on which the Offline Tester is executed require the product TP1/Offline Tester.

(2) Online Tester

The Online Tester works with OpenTP1 to test UAPs in an online environment. Before using the UAP in actual processing, you can test its behavior with OpenTP1 services. The Online Tester can test the behavior of an SUP or SPP. You can also test an MHP as an SPP. Workstations on which the Online Tester is executed require the product TP1/Online Tester.

(3) MCF Online Tester

The MCF Online Tester works with TP1/Message Control to test MHPs in an online environment. As with the Online Tester, the behavior of MHPs can be tested while using OpenTP1 services online.

Workstations on which the MCF Online Tester is executed require the product TP1/Message Control/Tester.
