Hi All,

I in a project where we test stored procedures manually using Data Dynamics #Grid tool and then we verify the result set. I have heard of automated testing in Mainframes where it takes the login id and password by its own and runs the test cases by itself one by one.
Is some sort of scripting involved in that? Please point me to some useful documents/links.

Compuware has some software called Hiperstation that sounds like what you're looking for. Try http://www.compuware.com/

Hi Terry,

I could not find anything significant there. Can you please provide me the detailed links? I need to know how we can implement this automation....

If you couldn't find anything significant there, you didn't look hard enough. Hiperstation is not free. You'll need to be a licensed customer to use it. Contact the vendor.

IBM also has a system called TPNS (actually, I think the name may have changed recently) that has been doing this kind of thing for decades for 3270 screens, TCP/IP connections and probably other things. I haven't used it in a long time, but I work with someone who still uses it all the time (and wrote parts of it). It can simulate many concurrent users (thousands) and is basically script based. Results for 3270 applications are screen (field) comparisons, actual to expected. There are also different tools available for similar tasks.

If your applications are not 3270 or TCP/IP screen based, I would assume there are similar test products out there. Or if you know the exact inputs and expected outputs, you might be able to do a homegrown system more quickly than installing and configuring a complex testing package.
