2. Uses Build Engine and Build Definition for building

3. ANT build script based on Lang Defs and Translators

4. Primary Use Case: build application without impacting team

5. Error feedback based on Build Definition parameterization

User Build

1. Builds just single selected program

2. Uses JES and generated JCL for building

3. Generated JCL based on Lang Defs and Translators

4. Primary Use Case: lightweight unit compilation and link-edit

5. Out-of-the-box build error feedback

Theme “zUnit Simplification”

“As a developer I need to be able to quickly select, run, and verify the results of test cases.”

“As a developer I need to be able to quickly create new runner configuration files with minimal effort.”

“As a COBOL or PL/I developer using zUnit, I need to be able to share my unit test results with Java developers who use JUnit.”

RDz V9.0 – zUnit Enhancements



New “Run [All] As Test Case” action eliminates these manual steps:

1. Create and upload a runner configuration file for the test case(s) to run.

2. Create/Update JCL to call the test runner specifying source runner configuration file, target runner result file, and test case load library.

3. Delete the target runner result file if it already exists (previous result).

4. Submit JCL to start the test runner.

5. Monitor JES until the test runner job completes.

6. Locate and open the runner result file (if one was generated).

Theme: zUnit Simplification





New “Run [All] As Test Case” action eliminates manual steps



New “Generate Runner Configuration...” context menu action.

– Generate a runner configuration from one or more selected test case load modules (*.exe).
