Well after nearly 5 months of part time work V1.1.0 of my MQ test utility has finally seen the light of day. It can be downloaded from the following link.
http://www-1.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg24007048 The main addition is the ability to control the rate at which messages are delivered to an application under test. To illustrate the way this is done I've included an example script file, below, which if the message test program was invoked by typing in MsgTest MessageRate8-1.xml 1 5 1 300 would see messages delivered to the target application at the rate of 1 message per second for the first 5 minutes(300 seconds) and then 2 messages per second for the next 5 minutes etc. until the To= value of 5 messages per second was reached. Where the individual messages being sent would be randomly selected from a preloaded pool of ten messages. The other thing I've done is to include the 80+ test scripts and their log output where applicable as examples of the way various script functions work.
