Flexible Testing

CA InterTest for CICS makes it easy to adjust your testing plan to react to situations as they arise. For example, you can set breakpoints in your program before initiating it, and then set new breakpoints or remove existing ones after the program begins to execute. You can also create new test records during a test session if your current data is not testing your program thoroughly.

In a secure CICS region, you can take advantage of the user monitoring option to create a personal test session based only on your CICS user ID. If you specify your own User ID when setting monitoring and breakpoints, the program(s) are monitored only when you execute them, and the breakpoints and other monitoring options are directed to whatever terminal, or terminal session, you are using. The user monitoring option also permits multiple users to concurrently test the same program with different monitoring options.
