Innovative, open and automated testing for your z/OS applications

Presentation

Testing can be hard work.

You need to access 3270, run a batch job, call a CICS program, do some web UI navigation and deploy a container - just to do 1 test case, that's exhausting! yet that's a reality for a lot of application developers and testers who want to prove that their application is free of bugs.

Enter project Galasa, an open source test framework that allows you to 'join-the-dots' and integrate z/OS, cloud native and test tool technologies together all in one place through a single easy to use API.

In this session we will show how to use Galasa to drive a hybrid cloud application and validate that changes in the web UI were persisted in the system of engagement.

We will go on to explain how that single test can then be run in parallel at scale ensuring that even the most demanding CI pipeline will always be able to run your tests.
