COBOL Basic Demo Session

This chapter takes you step‑by‑step through the basic CA InterTest for CICS demo session. Performing the demo at a terminal is the best way to begin learning about CA InterTest. If a terminal is not available, you can read this chapter as a paper demo.

The basic demo session illustrates many of the testing and debugging tasks you will use on your own programs. These tasks are discussed in more detail in the next chapter. For more information on any topic discussed in this book, see the User Guide.

We are assuming that CA InterTest for CICS has been installed on your system. If not, contact your systems programmer.
