We are using JTest for our testing purposes and want to extend the same for Mainframes as well.
Could someone let me know any equivalent for JTest in mainframe?
Regards.
Hari.

You can run JUnit on z/OS.
For COBOL it depends on what you are doing. If it is 3270/Online there are products that will do screen scraping and do scritps. I beleive that HP now owns Mecury Software and they had QuickTest Pro which could be used for 3270 application scripting.
As for JCL, well, there is nothing you can really do to script JCL. I guess you could create something that varies the input to the job, but it would not really be scripting. It would just having various input files for the batch job.
After re-reading and thinking about it, are you trying to use JTest on z/OS to test Java code.
Or are you looking for something like JTest that will do the same function but for non-Java based program systems?
If it the latter, the then like I said in my last post, some of it depends. What enviroment are you running Cobol programs in: CICS, IDMS, Batch, TSO, or something else?
What do you want to do to "test" JCL? There are product that will validate that the JCL statements are correct and that if files are supposed to exist they do. However it will not verify that the programs exected by the JCL will actually work. For that you need to run the jobs.
