Tool created by NetIQ’s Consulting Custom Development Team to improve the quality and efficiency of Identity Manager deployments Tool designed to efficiently write tests to validate the design and configuration of new drivers or modified drivers prior to production deployment – Unit testing – Isolated testing of a single component of the system (a single driver) – verifies that the single component is working as designed – Integration testing – Tests all the components together as an integrated system – verifies that all the parts are working together as intended – Regression testing – Tests the system to verify that the newly added or updated components work as designed in the existing system without introducing unintended problems

Manual testing can be tedious and time consuming – Verifying individual actions performed by IDM drivers (create, delete, modify, move, etc.) Validator for Identity Manager can automate the verification of the actions of a single IDM driver or multiple drivers across your entire IDM system – Tests can be run one at a time or in a batch – Validator for Identity Manager makes it easy to create the tests – Tests can be saved and are reusable – Tests can be easily modified and repurposed

Improves Quality – Validator for Identity Manager’s ease of use simplifies testing making it easier to do better and more extensive testing – Manual testing can be tedious, and in an effort to get up and running faster, lack of proper testing and validation may compromise a successful outcome – Updating your Identity Management system by adding new drivers or modifying existing drivers shouldn’t break things – Unit, integration, and regression testing allows you to verify that upgrades and changes add the desired value without setbacks in your current environment – IDM environments can be complex – proper testing will eliminate operational risks
