TestMatch Reviews

TestMatch Description

TestMatch serves as a tool for comparing transaction content, enabling automated testing of mainframe OLTP applications, which are terminal-based systems for processing online transactions. It is particularly useful for aiding the transition of legacy applications to contemporary open systems, or it can be utilized to create an automated regression testing suite for existing applications. All user interactions are centrally recorded on an IBM or Siemens mainframe without the need for installing any client-side or server-side components of Astadia's software. This network-level recording method ensures compatibility across various development technologies. TestMatch effectively visualizes test scenarios and sessions, showcasing terminal content along with key attributes typical of terminal-based applications, such as protected/editable settings, MDT bits, reverse-video effects, and color schemes. Furthermore, TestMatch can replay these recorded scenarios, which can either be directed at the migrated application for testing purposes or the original application to verify functionality through regression testing. This versatility makes TestMatch an invaluable asset for organizations looking to streamline their testing processes while ensuring reliability during application transitions.
