The testing tool collects information about the backend, such as platform (IBM i, Windows or Linux), LANSA version and SP level, and Web System name (also known as Web Alias), if applicable. It submits About URLs (for example: http://localhost:8080/lansa/lansaweb?aboutImage Removed) to the Web Server and displays the HTTP Status Code and Status Text. All information is displayed in an easy to read and easy to navigate way. Details in the configuration file can be changed, changes can be saved, IIS can be restarted and the test can be restarted from within the testing tool.

Click the Run Test button to start the test.
