| 1. In a distributed transaction management system including a first transaction processing module for initiating a transaction
session and for transmitting information associated with the transaction session in the form of a message over a first communications
link to a second transaction processing module that receives the message and transmits the message over a second communications
link to a third transaction processing module used for processing the message, a method of validating the integration of the
first transaction processing module and the third transaction processing module comprising the steps of:
entering predetermined transactional information into the first transaction processing module;
the first transaction processing module using the predetermined transaction information to create a message;
the first transaction processing module transmitting the message over a first communications link to the second transaction
processing module;
the second transaction processing module receiving the message and transmitting the message over a second communications link
to a third transaction processing module;
the third transaction processing module receiving the message, identifying the message as a test message and determining which
of a plurality of test cases the test message corresponds to;
the third transaction processing module comparing at least one test message characteristic with at least one corresponding
test case characteristic; and
as the result of the third transaction processing module comparing the at least one test message characteristic with the at
least one corresponding test case characteristic, the transaction processing module generating a message that contains an
indication of the successful integration of the first and third transaction processing modules.
