Abstract:
1. A method for simulating a message-oriented service, the method comprising: obtaining, at a simulation computing apparatus, a request message in a hierarchical format; generating, with the simulation computing apparatus, a set of flat request records based on the request message, each flat request record includes at least a key and a value; comparing, with the simulation computing apparatus, each of the flat request records to a set of criteria records to generate one or more response sets, each of the criteria records includes at least a key, a value, and a response identifier and each of the one or more response sets includes one or more response identifiers; applying, with the simulation computing apparatus, one or more rules to the one or more response sets to identify one or more response identifiers; retrieving, with the simulation computing apparatus, one or more test data responses corresponding to the one or more identified response identifiers; and outputting, with the simulation computing apparatus, one or more response messages including the one or more retrieved test data responses.
