Types of Testing

CA Verify for VTAM is the ideal tool for all of the following types of testing:

Unit:

Test a program change and see how it affects the rest of the program

Integration:

Test whether a modified program works properly in conjunction with other programs

Concurrency:

Test what happens when two or more transactions try to perform the same task at the same time; for example, update a record

Regression:

Test whether a system performs as usual after a change to one component of that system

Stress:

Test how your system behaves under heavy loads and determine how increased transaction volume affects response time

Migration:

Test whether existing applications perform as expected following hardware or system changes; for example, a new disk drive or a new release of CICS

See the Chapter "Testing" for suggestions on how to perform different types of testing.
