What is Express XML?

Are you still hand-crafting XML documents to test your applications?

Generate test XML from your XML schema - automatically!  There is a better, faster and overall less expensive approach - generate your XML instances automatically from your XML schema! Just point and click and hundreds, thousands or tens of thousands of XML documents can be generated automatically in a few seconds or minutes.

You can easily generate valid of invalid XML document, a few at a time or in large volume.

Check out our demos!

To purchasing go to Purchase and Activation.

To download Express XML Click Here! ExpressXML downloads are found within the public files in their own folder.
  
Generic or Specific Content
Dummy Data or Actual Values
You can easily generate dummy data or realistic, actual values based on your XML schema or other rules.
 
Enumeration Support
By default, schema enumeration values are automatically stored and used during generation.  These can be overwritten or modified.
 
Customizable Value Generation
Values for data nodes without schema based enumeration can be entered manually, obtained from an external data source, or programmatically created using the build in script engine.
Benefits
  • Faster time-tomarket by reducing time spent creating XML documents for testing
  • Create repeatable processes for test creation and management
  • Reduce human error especially when working with large schemas such as SEPA, FIXML, SWIFT etc.
  • Free up highly skilled development staff to do more
  • Enable testing staff to focus on testing business funtionality and not having to worry about creating test XML documents
  • Automate tedious manual test XML document construction so it becomes a repeatable process
Valid or Invalid XML
Support for Positive or Negative Testing
When creating your test scenario for an XML schema you can select from valid, invalid or custom profiles to achieve desired results when generating XML instances.
 
Aggregate or Granular Control Over Your Test XML Node Values
Once the scenario is created, it can be further customized down to the node level to create XML instances that will comply or violate (your choice) the XML schema rules. This is useful to test typical, boundary and invalid conditions in your applications.
 
Automatic Validation
An option can be set to validate each generated XML instance right after generation. Validation errors messages are available for further analysis.
