Soumitra,

You can no longer obtain CICS Playback by Compuware.  It is not an option.

Subject: CICS testing tool


Hello,

I am looking for some tool like CICS playback to
execute unit and system test in
CICS/COBOL/IMS/DB2/some assembler programs
environment. I would like to know the tools available.
This tool should be able to record scripts from user
terminals. Then it should run afterwards and capture
the output (Screen/TSQ/TDQ/Database/File etc). One
should be able to compare the captured outputs.

I have heard 4 options so far:
CICS Playback by Compuware
Hiperstation by Compuware
TPNS by IBM
Replay by CA


If any of you has experience with these tools or some
other tools please tell me your experience regarding
the use of it and installation of it.


Finally is it possible to get user manuals or
evaluation copy of tool before I can recommend the
tool for purchase?

Regards.
Soumitra
