30 -=== 3.2 Regression Testing ===
30 +=== 3.2 Data Sink ===

32 -Another testing method used within software development is regression testing. Regression tests ensure that existing functionality is not impacted by newly developed functionality. Running these tests is crucial to preventing unexpected negative changes for customers. Regression tests can be applied on different levels, from individual functionality to the whole platform.
32 +On top of the standard Manage functionality in eMagiz, you can acquire additional functionality that allows you to sink data at any given point in the flow into a bucket hosted by eMagiz. We advise you to do this twice per integration. Once when the message enters the eMagiz platform and once the message leaves the eMagiz platform. By providing a unique identifier (i.e., an order number), you can search through this data for maximum 180 days (minimum 30 days) to determine whether a specific message with a particular identifier is indeed received and/or delivered by eMagiz in the Manage phase of eMagiz. See below for an illustration of this functionality.
33 33  
34 -The main functionality within the eMagiz platform to perform regression testing on your integrations is called "Automated flow testing." For every flow test, there is the option to automate them. When a flow test is automated, it will run all automated flow tests once a new version is committed. If the test fails, you will be notified on the flow-level and get a result overview on release activation. More information can be found in the microlearning:

40 -A third method for testing is the performance test. Within a performance test, not the content is important but the amount of load you test on your test subject. In the case of integrations, it means, in general, the number of messages sent over a certain integration. Normally your production environment handles more load than a test or acceptance environment. With a performance test, you can estimate how much impact a new integration has on resources, such as CPU or memory usage of the runtimes within your environment. More information on how to configure the solution architecture of your model can be found in this microlearning:

42 +However, in some cases, there are additional legal requirements you need to meet. These legal requirements require you to prove for an extended period (i.e., seven years) that a specific message was sent at a particular moment in time. For this requirement, we have the long-term archiving functionality in eMagiz.

44 +==== 3.3 Long Term Archiving ====
46 46  
47 -=== 3.4 End-To-End Testing ===
46 +The long-term archiving functionality is an expansion of the data sink functionality. By adding a specific tag to the logic within the flow, the data will be placed in the data sink and placed in our long-term archiving solution. In this solution, we will keep the data for a standard period of seven years before deleting the data from the long-term archiving solution. This allows you to retrieve chunks of data from the long-term archiving via a ticket request in our support portal. As a result, we will provide you with the requested data promptly.

49 -The last testing option discussed in this fundamental is a user acceptance test or End-to-End test. In this test, not only developers or testers are involved, but also end-users or other people from the business side. Therefore this testing method is more functionally focused than the previously discussed tests. A User Acceptance test aims to let the business (users) accept the solution created. Normally, this is the last step before pushing the solution to production.

51 -All the previously mentioned eMagiz functionality helps you complete an End-to-End test or to solve issues found within the test effectively. More information on this testing method can be found in the microlearning:

55 55  == 4. Key takeaways ==
56 56  
57 -* There are different testing methods with different goals
58 -* Not every testing method can be done at any stage of development
59 -* For every testing method, eMagiz has documentation and when possible features to support testing
52 +* Each eMagiz model has a standard Manage phase in which statistics are kept on your environment
53 +* With these statistics, you can determine whether messages have been received by and sent by eMagiz
54 +* This functionality does not allow you to see the content of the messages itself
55 +* On top of that, eMagiz offers Data Sink and long term Archiving as additional licensed features
56 +* Data sink is helpful for an Ops scenario to check whether a specific message is processed by eMagiz (Traceability)
57 +* Long term archiving is helpful for legal purposes as it gives you the option to prove for seven years that a specific message is sent at a specific time (Compliancy)
