Test automation works on at least two levels for organizations. First, it can increase the delivery velocity of terminal-based mainframe applications. Secondly, it meets user requirements without compromising quality; or as the industry prefers to describe it, automated terminal-based mainframe application testing establishes a continuous integration/continuous delivery (CI/CD) pipeline.
By automating testing behind CI/CD practices, mainframe development teams can meet both user and line-of-business (LOB) demands quickly and efficiently. Organizations using functional, regression, and performance testing – solutions all covered within our ADM portfolio – are equipped to deliver mainframe applications that meet regulatory requirements on time, with fewer bugs, and increased scale and flexibility.
There are solutions in the marketplace that deliver automated testing that work with current testing solutions and infrastructure, using discrete services to automate terminal-based mainframe application testing. These services use encapsulated application business logic that is exposed by many standard interfaces.
