So, part of my job is to test different applications on my comany's hardware platform.
A lot of pieces of software allow you to download some sort of certification exam or something like that. The problem is the pieces of software that don't. Some things you can tell if they are working, but others are rather difficult.
One of the most difficult ones is application servers. Sure, I can see if they are up and running and maybe even load a page, but how can I really test these things? I know there are things like SPECjAppServer2002. or ECperf, but those are more performance tests than anything else from my understand. Is there something out there that goes through and really tests compatability and that things are really working?
Any other suggestions on ways to test application servers would be greatly appreciated too.
