Can anybody help me in providing approach document or link where i can get some input regarding "Approach or methodology" to test application which is in mainframe system.

Our application is comprised of java and Mainframe. Java is being used a Front end layer only for data presentation layer.

For each event in front end, it called the CICS procedure which intern execute the procedure at mainframe end.

I am basically a Testing profesional. I wanted to prepare a Test Strategy or plan which i would like to define the methodology for Testing.

Can anybody please provide me a document or like which i can refer to get some details.

thanks in advance.

Hi ,

This is as per my understanding like you are in general testing ,but application you test is interrelated with both front end(JAVA) and back-end(Mainframes).rite ?

And you give test data in front end and expected to verify in cics screens or you need to wait for a day to submit a batch job. ?

If your answer is yes in expected to verify in CICS screes then you can write TC like giving data in FE (Front end ) and verify in mainframe CICS screens.

or

If your answer is yes in expected to verify after submitting batch jobs ,then probably you should know information regarding job names ,Monthly/Daily,input files /output files etc.

i can give more details, if you would give about your requirement.

Thanks,
Dhans.
