The value of integration
What is it & How do you find it?
Depends on the use case
It’s not what, but how and why….
Typical examples:
- Reduced mean time to repair
- Speed to market
- Security
- Infrastructure optimisation
Total = $7,783,171
Three-year, risk-adjusted total present value

Use APIs to standardize the way systems
connect to each other. Plug/unplug
systems using a hybrid integration
platform.
Adopt a "plug and play" approach to
integration, wrapping systems in APIs and
creating "building blocks." Use "building
blocks" to build new, more efficient
processes.
-Lower IT operating costs
-Improved business agility
-Lower operating costs
-Maintain and improve competitive advantage
-Improved business agility
-Improved employee productivity & satisfaction
Improve the customer experience

Challenges in the process of being overcome with MuleSoft
API strategy →
- Lack of clearly documented and socialized API
strategy
- Lack of clear mandate to standardize
connectivity of systems, processes, and data
→
- Lack of alignment between business and IT
- Integrations driving limited business value
- High IT operating costs
Developer on-ramp →
- Developers required to learn multiple coding
languages to integrate applications
→
- Long developer on-ramp period
- High IT onboarding costs
- Long time to full productivity
Area Observation Implication
Integration technology
& tooling →
- No integration platform. Systems connected in a
point to point, non-standard way
→
- Slower project speeds
- Delayed time to market
- Poor project quality
- Suboptimal security
- High maintenance costs
- Poor governance
Sample output

Challenges in the process of being overcome with MuleSoft
Re-use →
- Limited to no reuse of integration code across
projects
- Limited use of or no repository to store reusable
pieces integration code
- Lack of an IT operating model that encourages
reuse or collaboration across development teams
→
-Slow project speeds
- Long time to market
- Poor project quality
Integration security →
- Security policies have to be manually coded into
integrations
- No consistent or governable way to check that all
endpoints are sufficiently secured
- Maintaining security of integrations is manual
→
- Poor security
- High IT operating costs
Area Observation Implication
Integration
development →
- Systems and applications are integrated
manually
- Duplicative development efforts - the same
integration code is written for each project
→
-Slow project speeds
- Long time to market

What is MUnit?
● MUnit is the testing
framework specifically
targeted to testing Mule
applications
● It natively supports unit
and integration testing
on APIs and Mule apps
in local and CI/CD
environments (via
Maven).

21. All contents © MuleSoft Inc.
How do you use MUnit?
1 Use MUnit to build test
flows (technically called
test suites in the
industry) focused on
executing Mule flows.
Each test is essentially a
Mule flow.
2 Use components from
MUnit and generic Mule
components to build test
flows
3 Test flows execute in
a Mule runtime and
report results
