Using CA ADS Alive to Debug and Test Dialogs

CA ADS Alive is an excellent tool for debugging and testing dialogs. Programmers can use this tool to test dialogs not known to have errors, as well as for debugging dialogs that are not terminating normally.

The extensive capabilities of CA ADS Alive provide the CA ADS programmer with many possibilities for testing. With CA ADS Alive you can intercept and analyze errors, review error interpretation online, and interactively test dialogs. You can then use CA IDMS DME to change CA ADS source online.

Using the features of CA ADS Alive, you can avoid the extra compiles, test data cases, and the need to understand the internal data representations or structure of CA ADS runtime control blocks. This saves both time and resources.
