The following process steps are not tested in a submitted test:

• Add to Cache
• Connector
• Process Call
• Program Command
• Remove From Cache
• Retrieve From Cache
• Start
• Trading Partner
• Try/Catch

These restrictions make replaying Boomi Assure tests safer for both and our customers. The exceptions listed above are based on steps that may have side effects, for example a connector call that creates new accounts in a third-party system, and may not be safe to execute repeatedly. If one of the above steps is encountered while executing a test, the step is skipped and the output data of that step is used as the input for the next step.

How much data is recorded by Boomi Assure?

Recording stops when the amount of data recorded during a test execution reaches 50 MB. If this stoppage occurs, a test package is not saved for the execution and the Submit Test button is not enabled upon the execution’s completion.
