Application
Parallel Testing
on z/OS
Easily spin up containerized app testing environments for z/OS
APT automates the infrastructure preparation for testing, enabling isolated test scenarios using Db2, VSAM, and sequential files — all within a single LPAR. It clones, not simulates, enabling simultaneous testing across multiple tracks without conflict.
Revolutionizing Test Environments for Agile Development
APT standardizes the processes of testing programs and systems, transforming test plans into a company asset built for DevOps speed. CICS transactions, IMS, and Db2 databases are real — not simulated — enabling full end-to-end validation without waiting on other programmers.
After deploying APT
Measurable impact from the first deployment
After deploying APT
- 23% reduction in SDLC timelines
- 22% reduction in production defects
- 24% increase in application delivery speed
- 45% increase in testing coverage
- 58% reduction in test cycles due to early and frequent testing
Main Features
Everything needed to bring mainframe testing in line with the speed and rigour of modern DevOps workflows.
Isolation in the same LPAR without interference — multiple tracks run simultaneously
Clone only the components you need — load modules, Db2 tables, files and JCL
Plans, automates, and certifies test integration — create, use, re-run
Prevent errors already solved from returning due to application maintenance
Reload all components and data in containers in a matter of seconds
Standardized environments set up easily via an intuitive web interface
Retains the logic applied in generating test conditions for continuous reuse
Standardized test processes with full visibility on what has and hasn't been tested
The Bottom Line
- Greater application integrity within DevOps methodologies
- Faster time to application production dates
- Save man-hours through automated test environment creation
- Lower cost of ownership through process automation
- Fund other IT initiatives with cost savings
