In Mendix, it is possible to build unit tests. However, this approach has the disadvantage that the test code becomes part of the application code and takes a lot of time to implement.

The MTA solution gives the possibility to configure unit tests outside the Mendix models and aggregate them into test cases and test suites. The unit tests automatically invoke the microflows to be checked. This makes it easy for Mendix business engineers to run a large number of unit tests and aggregate them into component and process tests without polluting the code.

To perform automated tests early in the development process, it is often necessary to install and maintain specific tooling. Menditect’s solution makes it possible to run tests automatically on the any environment (development, test, acceptance) of the Mendix project without installing tooling. MTA is also integrated with Studio Pro, this allows developers to build unit test in MTA from their Studio Pro IDE.

A realized feature is often not a stand-alone product but can be part of a business process. If the built functionality is somewhere at the end of a business process, testing can become time consuming. All previous steps in the process must be performed before a test case can be released on the new feature.

It would be easy if all the previous test steps and test cases used to test the previously built functionality could be reused. The good news is that this is possible with MTA. Unit tests, test cases and even entire test suites can be reused so that the testing process is significantly accelerated

Upgrading legacy applications shouldn’t mean weeks of manual testing. MTA provides an enormous opportunity to speed up your migration path. By combining the Mendix CLI (mxcli) and a ‘Bring Your Own LLM’ (BYO LLM) approach, MTA empowers developers to automatically extract legacy model data and generate a comprehensive regression suite. This gives you the technical safety net you need to confidently migrate older apps to Mendix 11 at a fraction of the historical cost.
