Drummond Certifies Secure Messaging Products in AS3 Tests

Drummond Group Inc. has successfully accomplished its AS3 computerized interoperability testing for the first quarter of 2012. Four solutions from Axway, CLEO, GXS and IBM (News - Alert) have now achieved the Drummond Certification, which certifies that the product is able to interoperate along with a collection of commercial software solutions. The global acceptance of standards-based software to be utilized in supply chains is encouraged by the Drummond Certified program.

Vendor applications are able to converse with any data using File Transfer Protocol or FTP, with the help of AS3. Digital security and receipt validation are also offered by AS3, the IETF messaging specification standard.

In a release, Rik Drummond, CEO of Drummond Group said, “We applaud Axway, CLEO, GSX (News - Alert) and IBM for their continued efforts in maintaining interoperable products for their customers.”

The interoperability tests for AS3 made use of Drummond Group's InSitu, which allows for computerized testing. The test cases utilized for interoperability testing, like sending and receiving AS3 messaging can now be performed and assessed mechanically by the tester with the help of this tool. As testers using InSitu are not required to transmit all the messages exchanged in the interoperability testing, they can concentrate on deciphering any interoperability issues.

The Drummond Group provides reliable and certified interoperability testing along with test lab services like auditing, QA, conformance, and test consulting. Testing services covering the entire life cycle of the product are offered by DGI to enterprises across the world.
