This lab will take you through the steps of using the automated testing
capabilities of the IBM Z Virtual Test Platform (VTP) to create a test at the
transaction levels of a COBOL/CICS/ DB2 application. This is done by stubbing
out CICS, IMS, DB2, DL/1 and MQ calls, enabling the program to be tested without
a DB2 and CICS environment being active. In this lab you will record the
transaction using an existing COBOL/CICS/DB2 application and write the recorded
data into a flat file (playback file). Then you will make a change to the
COBOL/CICS/DB2 program adding a bug and rerun the test that should catch the
bug.
