OVERVIEW - TIME MACHINE AND ITS PRODUCT SUITE
Complete Time Travel Testing at Your Fingertips.
TIME MACHINE:
Software Virtual Clocks for Time Travel Testing. Simulate past and future dates effortlessly with Time
Machine®, enabling comprehensive testing of your date- and time-sensitive applications. Ideal for
validating critical business processes like quarter-end and year-end processing, billing cycles, regulatory
compliance (including Year 2038), and policy lifecycles during integration, upgrades, virtualization, cloud
migration, and containerization. Eliminate the risks and downtime associated with system clock resets in
complex environments like Active Directory and Kerberos.
TIME MACHINE FOR CONTAINERS (TMCON):
Time Travel Testing for Containerized Applications. Effortlessly conduct time travel testing on your
containerized applications with Time Machine for Containers. Simulate past and future dates with
variable speed to thoroughly test date and time-sensitive application logic, including critical processes
like month-end, quarter-end, and year-end processing, billing cycles, workflow automation, regulatory
go-live, and policy lifecycles. Easily time travel target Kubernetes and OpenShift pods/deployments by
deploying a Time Machine container in the same namespace. Configure your application deployments in
three simple steps and create a virtual clock to start time traveling your applications in under five
minutes.
TIME MACHINE ENTERPRISE MANAGEMENT CONSOLE (TMEMC):
Centralized Management for Time Machine. Simplify management of your entire Time Machine Suite
with the intuitive TMEMC GUI. Acting as a central "steering wheel," the TMEMC provides a single
console to monitor and manage all Time Machine installed systems, whether on-premise or in the cloud.
Easily set virtual dates and times, simultaneously control UNIX, Linux, and Windows machines, and
benefit from robust enterprise security features including user management, idle session lockout, and a
built-in audit trail.
TIME MACHINE SYNC SERVER (TMSS):
Synchronized Virtual Clocks for Distributed Testing. Enhance your testing environment with Time
Machine Sync Server, an add-on software stack enabling simultaneous broadcast of virtual clocks across
multiple Time Machine and framework systems. Regardless of time zone or geographic location, ensure
synchronized time across your entire test environment with TMSS. Benefit from configurable password-
protected roles, access control lists, and HTTP API enabled test automation for easy integration with any
test tool or browser.
TIME MACHINE FLOATING LICENSE SERVER (TMFLS):
The Floating License Server enables automatic license management for Time Machine across the
enterprise and in the Cloud. A pool of license units can be hosted on THE Floating License Server, and
checked out automatically by any Time Machine system when Time Machine service starts and released
once the service stops. No manual license key step of contacting the vendor is needed when a new
system comes up that needs to time travel. As long as there are license units left in the pool, any Time
Machine system can grab the license automatically and time travel. As a result, license units can be
shared or floated to any Time Machine system within the enterprise or in the Cloud.
