Teleprocessing Network Simulator

Product Documentation


Abstract

Used as a basic tool in a comprehensive test plan, TPNS increases the effectiveness of system testing by providing a structured and systematic approach to all phases of testing.

TPNS improves network computing by conducting stress, performance, regression, function and capacity planning tests with SNA, CPI-C and enhanced TCP support. A market leader with a 20-year track record in enterprise testing, TPNS can be used to measure system performance and response time, to evaluate network design, to perform functional testing, to automate regression testing, and to simulate any number of virtual users.
