Matador provides the ability to test data as it flows throughout many types of technologies and applications. The main criteria for the successful configuration of test cases in Matador is the ability to access data. This can be data that persists in a database or file systems; or data as it flows through queues as in middleware; or transient data such as Web Services. Matador runs with Java JDK 1.5 or greater. Matador is agentless, and does not require any additional components to be installed on the applications being tested.
