Mainframe Testing Services

Optimize the cost of quality in Legacy...

In the current economic scenario, IT budgets are constantly under pressure and there is an expectation to get good quality applications with less cost. Testing clearly has taken on an increasingly important role in application development and is one of the biggest drivers of the overall development cost and quality.

As business application development becomes more dynamic and component-based, new approaches are needed in testing to help deliver quality business applications. HCL helps customers with its testing framework to achieve this.

Necessity of Mainframe Testing:

• Mainframe applications, product suites and architectures are entirely different from the distributed environment. Moreover, these applications control critical business flows as well
• With emerging business needs, mainframe applications are changing continuously, be it SOA, SOI, Cloud, etc.
• Due to new technologies, the mainframe testing scope and scenarios became more complex and require more focused testing
• Retiring mainframe workforce increases the risk of non-SMEs making changes to application. This may result in a large number of defects
• The cost of quality and impact cost due to erroneous testing is very high when it comes to mainframe applications
• The focused testing methodology for mainframe applications would yield high benefits.
• Various “Legacy Scenarios” get tested
• Since legacy is at the core of the business, impact on other interfacing applications can also be tested
• End-to-end test coverage, spanning platforms
• Reduced cost of quality
• Automation in mainframe testing can help in reducing time-to-market for future projects
