Hello everyone! New guy here and excited to become a part of this community.
I am currently building a new website for the Kentucky Center from the ground up to replace the current one we have in place. We have some decent features implemented on the current site like SYOS, but the interface is dated and cumbersome. Also the back-end was built using Entity Framework and it was implemented poorly. We experience a lot of performance issues and customer complaints, so a new design and code rewrite is necessary moving forward.
We are running Tess V11 right now and plan to upgrade to v12.1 in a couple of months. I would like to go ahead and target v12.1, but I have no database/web api to test against at this time. I would like to make use of the latest Tess REST API web services instead of building the site out and then rewriting .NET classes after we upgrade to v12.1. The issue is I am under a deadline and I can't wait around to start writing the code. I can use the v11 api and make the minimal changes needed to get v12 working when we upgrade, but obviously don't want to do that.
I guess this may be a direct question I need to ask technical support, but is it possible to get v12 with dummy data for what I need? Does Tessitura provide a test web api on a server somewhere? Thanks for any information or ideas you may have.
