COBOL Unit Testing Framework

1 post · May 2023

What this trail covers

COBOL Check is a unit testing framework for COBOL that enables testing of individual code sections. It supports test-driven development (TDD) and test-driven learning (TDL), allowing developers to refactor code, create test scenarios, and learn through testing. The framework can be integrated into CI/CD pipelines using tools like Bitbucket and Jenkins for automated testing and quality gates. It is available for z/OS systems and can be downloaded from its GitHub repository.

  1. COBOL Check! Exciting new development for the Open Mainframe Project’s COBOL Programming courseThis post announces a webinar featuring Rune Christensen, co-lead of COBOL Check, a unit testing framework for COBOL. It highlights the framework's use at Bankdata, its benefits for TDD/TDL, and how developers on z/OS systems can use it by downloading the package and writing JCL. It also mentions integration with CI/CD pipelines (Bitbucket, Jenkins) for automated testing and quality gates.
