Test Automation on IBM i has been neglected for too long
Testing represents from 30% to 60% of IT budgets, ranging from simple maintenance projects to modernization projects.
This task is generally considered tedious and difficult, but unit testing, functional testing, end-to-end testing, and workload testing are critical to the business. Just think about the global IT outage on July 19th, countless companies lost millions due to poor testing.
Technically, we are talking about interactive programs, batch or sbmjob, web, Rest API, DB connections, IO parameters, json, data or subsets of data, environments, initializations, and comparisons.
And there was nothing in the IBM i market to achieve proper test automation, until now.
When it comes to test automation, there are many challenges to overcome.
One of them is for example to identify all the files that a program call stack can use, to copy them before and after or to initialize them and compare them if necessary.
Keeping all the values of the IO parameters for different types of calls or encapsulating screen navigations with data from the user interface, 5250 or web sessions, or encapsulating SQL accesses are also significant challenges. Not to mention real simulations for workload testing.
Thanks to our commitment to research and development, all these testing activities are fully integrated and automated.
Testing is no longer tedious and difficult but becomes an asset.
In this webinar, we will see in practice and in “automation”:
Functional testing
Code coverage
Workload testing
Obfuscation
AI and TestOps
DevOps
Programmer, quality assurance and end user experience
Reduce data (Shrink data)
Multi-thread and multi-Job
Dashboard
Management & Risk Management
Technical and business innovations
If someone called testing the “Cinderella” of the shop, we have finally found the crystal shoe.
