Functional Testing overview

The Functional Testing component of IBM® Test Accelerator for Z accelerates the automation of deployable functional tests. By using Functional Testing, developers and testers can create deployable and reusable Galasa-based functional tests.

Functional Testing consists of the following components:

• Test generation for z/OS applications

  Experience an intuitive user interface that is designed for developers and testers alike, facilitating the generation of automated deployable functional tests.

• Dynamic Test Engine for z/OS

  The recording process makes functional test development easier by using the Dynamic Test Engine for z/OS component.

  Dynamic Test Engine for z/OS seamlessly integrates with the IBM z/OS Debugger, enabling easy debugging and code coverage collection during test execution.

• Galasa framework

  Galasa is a proven framework for building functional tests. By using a standard framework for building the functional tests, users can quickly build sustainable functional tests with Functional Testing with recording, and create new functional tests or supplement their existing functional tests now.
