Broadcom's Test4z is a mainframe unit testing solution that enables COBOL developers to apply the six core principles of unit testing within their preferred integrated development environments (IDEs), such as Visual Studio Code, ISPF, or Eclipse. By facilitating the creation and maintenance of unit tests directly alongside application code, Test4z enhances code quality, reduces defects, and accelerates the development lifecycle for mainframe applications. This approach aligns with modern DevOps practices, promoting continuous integration and delivery in mainframe environments. Features:

• Flexible IDE Integration: Supports multiple IDEs, including Visual Studio Code, ISPF, and Eclipse, allowing developers to work within their preferred environments.
• Advanced Mocking Capabilities: Provides sophisticated mocking of code, data, and subsystems to facilitate isolated unit testing.
• Automated Test Execution: Enables automated execution of unit tests, integrating seamlessly with continuous integration (CI) pipelines to ensure rapid feedback and consistent testing.
• Code Coverage Analysis: Offers native code coverage visibility, assisting developers and managers in optimizing test coverage and identifying untested code paths.
• Maintainable Test Cases: Facilitates the creation of clear, readable, and maintainable test cases, promoting long-term sustainability of the testing framework.
