Well, I use XDC from Cole Software:

www.colesoft.com

Then, as mentioned, there's Xpediter from Compuware

www.compuware.com/products/xpediter/default.htm

then there's good old TSO TEST:

Type HELP TEST under TSO and you'll see the writeup on it; it's also documented in this IBM manual:

and then there's always "desk checking", where you sit down with a program listing and read it line-by-line and follow it's flow, trying to find a bug...
