|
|
Hi,
I am new to CICS. I am working for a project which has CICS online screens. But we don't have any CICS online unit test environment to unit test our changes to online screens. Is there a way I can simulate an online enviroment? If there is one, I would like to know the details. Please help. _________________ Thanks,

If you don't have test environment then how is your modification verified, somebody must be unit testing it. There has to be some test region. |

Back when I at college (NIU 1985 - 1991) I took a CICS course that used a batch testing tool. NIU did not have resources to give each student a stand alone region. I believe it was an IBM batch tool that brought up a minimal CICS region and pushed through a predefined set of screen interactions (defined by our teacher). The tool captured before and after screen images and of course any errors that occured. I have no idea if this tool is still supported. However I would strongly suggest getting a unit test region setup as ultimagtely this allows for more flexible and realistic testing. |
