Abstract:
1. A computer-implemented method comprising: obtaining locations of a plurality of Job Control Language (JCL) tests from a database of a software testing management platform, wherein the database is a primary database that supports operation of the software testing management platform; transmitting the locations of the plurality of JCL tests to a mainframe computing system to initiate execution of the plurality of JCL tests in the mainframe computing system; based on transmitting the JCL test locations, retrieving execution identifiers (IDs) for each of the plurality of JCL tests from the mainframe computing system; storing, in the primary database and for each JCL test, the execution ID and an initial status of the JCL test; subsequently transmitting a query to the mainframe computing system to determine an execution status of a given one of the plurality of JCL tests; based on transmitting the query, receiving a status update from the mainframe computing system for the given JCL test, wherein the status update includes a first return code for the given JCL test; and based on the status update, selectively updating the initial status of the given JCL test in the primary database, the selectively updating comprising:
