While working as a System Test engineer, I
identified ways to improve the usability of the IBM middleware software
product WebSphere MQ, and developed an application
to significantly extend the ability of the provided administration tooling.
Written in my spare time, the application was developed in Java as a plugin for the provided toolset WebSphere MQ Explorer, and was initially released as a freeware software application from IBM.com. It has had a very positive reaction from customers, with hundreds of downloads and dozens of positive comments.
It's success led to it being picked up by WebSphere MQ Development and formally integrated into the full product.

Abstract
Extends the ability of the WebSphere MQ Explorer to examine the MQ configuration and look for potential problems and make recommendations.
Description
The WebSphere MQ Healthcheck Explorer plug-in enables the WebSphere MQ
Explorer to provide a greater level of feedback on your WMQ environment
definitions across a variety of areas. From clustering to SSL, WMQ Explorer
Healthcheck can be used to look for errors and potential problems, and
provide advice for possible improvements.
WMQ Healthcheck uses an Eclipse-style "Problems View" to display errors,
warnings and useful information in the WMQ Explorer, alongside your WMQ
object views. Each entry in the Problems View can be followed for
additional information and advice if you think it has found something
useful. Alternatively items can be filtered out from the current View or
even switched off completely so that it will not be looked for in future,
if it is not appropriate for your needs.
The core set of provided checks can be extended to include your own
custom tests, allowing you to teach the WMQ Explorer to provide feedback
that is directly relevant to your uses of WMQ. Samples are provided to
make this as simple as possible.
