Novice CICS programmers will learn to take advantage of the many features of CA InterTest for CICS because it is not necessary to learn command syntax. Standard ISPF‑like menus and selection screens make it easy to access any component in CA InterTest for CICS at any time.
The ITST transaction displays the Primary Option Menu from which you can access any CA InterTest for CICS function.
Specially formatted displays and screens also enable you to bypass menu processing by using special commands or single keystrokes for the most frequently used testing functions. For example, you can instruct CA InterTest for CICS to set monitoring, breakpoints or display main storage simply by pressing a PF key or entering a single action character next to a line in your source listing display. A command line on the top of any Source Listing or Breakpoint display lets you access a main menu or a specific menu function by entering its fastpath syntax (=X.Y.Z).
More experienced users often find it faster to enter transaction‑based commands for LIST, CNTL, CORE, and FILE facilities directly.
Example
Entering LIST=COBDEMO directly from CICS immediately displays the Source Listing Display of the program COBDEMO, where you can quickly set breakpoints before you begin executing the program.
You can also mix and match different methods during a single test session to meet your testing needs.
