Application for Parallel Testing (APT)

Application for Parallel Testing (APT)

Eccox Application for Parallel Testing (APT) removes one of the biggest DevOps speed humps to mainframe software dev on z/OS – integration testing and user acceptance testing.

Eccox APT allows mainframe testing to occur in parallel, smaller tests at a higher frequency than traditional waterfall testing.

With APT, users can create, execute, update, and reuse past test cases, creating a template for future needs and turning your resource-intensive testing efforts into valuable reusable assets with automation.
