Writing a test for a mainframe application is hard, automating it is even harder, especially if you are new to the world of mainframe. Many concepts may be unfamiliar and you may have limited exposure to the necessary tools.
Galasa is an open source project that provides your automated tests with a set of "Managers" to allow you to focus on writing the tests, without needing to know the complexities going on underneath. From 3270 terminal interactions to batch jobs: Galasa can help you to test it out of the box.
In this session we will explain what Galasa is and also provide a getting started guide, all the way from installing Galasa to running a test that interacts with a mainframe system.
