Citrus is a test framework written in Java that enables automated integration testing of message-based EAI applications. The tool can easily simulate surrounding systems across various transports and protocols (e.g. JMS, SOAP WebServices, Http, TCP/IP, …) in order to perform end-to-end use case testing.

Citrus provides strong validation mechanisms for XML message contents and allows to build complex testing logic. Citrus supports you with features such as:

• Sending and receiving messages
• Database validation
• Automatic retries
• Variable definitions
• Message timeout simulation
• Dynamic message contents
• Error simulation
• Iterations
• and many more
