Testing COBOL applications in CICS environments often requires specialized approaches to ensure system reliability and performance. This session will focus on practical techniques for creating and executing effective test strategies for COBOL applications that interact with CICS. Topics will include automated testing for transaction processing, managing dependencies in test environments, and balancing traditional and modern testing methods. Attendees will leave with a clearer understanding of how to approach testing challenges specific to CICS and tools that can support these efforts.
