S105 - Customer in Production: Our modernisation journey
The Customer in Production team's goal is to act as first customers of CICS. We test CICS at a level higher than system testing by developing a fully-featured banking application modelled on the results of our customer research and advocacy. We set ourselves the goal of remaining up to date with modern software development practices in order to anticipate ways in which customers of IBM will interact with and drive CICS.
In this session we will describe our transformation through two key areas: modularisation and modernisation. -
S109 - Creating a CI/CD pipeline for CICS Bank Sample Application using Ansible and Tekton
In CiP we test CICS by developing an application modelled on those created by our customers. We aim to demonstrate best practices for application development, and as a result have been creating a CI/CD pipeline for automating the delivery of our CICS application. This talk will take you through our journey to adopting Ansible with the z/OS CICS collections. We will demonstrate the full CI/CD Tekton pipeline and show how to use Ansible to deploy a test environment to a CICS region from automation.

S111 - Building your first automated tests for z/OS
Always wanted to build automated tests but not know where to start, In this session we will start with just a laptop and by the end of the session will have built a set of automated tests for z/OS using just open source tooling that you can access today. All the source code and configuration that is created for the session will be shared so you can use this as a starting point and start building your own tests!
