IBM is combining the Red Hat assets it gained last year via a $34 billion acquisition with its investment […]
Wazi VTP Test Recording Streamlines Mainframe Testing
Mainframe developers have an easier time testing with the Wazi Virtual Testing Platform Working with test data is tricky. If you’re a developer working in a distributed environment, things are difficult enough. It seems as though you’re forever replenishing test data on a database in your local system or one that’s dedicated to you out […]
DRY Comes to COBOL in IBM Z Development
Don’t Repeat Yourself (DRY) is a fundamental tenet of modern computer programming. Just about every CS student is taught that duplicating code in an application is an accident waiting to happen. The hazard is that you might alter a piece of code in one place, only to leave another identical instance of that code unchanged. […]
IBM Z Open Editor Support for Language Server Protocol is a Game Changer
The integrated development environment (IDE) is an indispensable tool for software developers. Before it came along, coding was a laborious, detail ladened undertaking. We’ve become accustomed to the syntax checking and code completion features than even the most basic IDEs provide. These days we tend to forget how hard it was programming with nothing but […]
IBM Advances DevOps on the Mainframe
IBM has expanded its efforts to bring DevOps best practices to the mainframe by adding automated unit testing capabilities for CICS COBOL programs using Db2 to IBM Developer for z/OS (IDz) V14.2.1. The company is also making an instance of z/OS available within a Docker container that can be deployed on an x86 platform. Sanjay […]
TDD, Unit Testing and the Mainframe
Unit testing is like exercise: Companies know it’s good for you and you should do it, but given their druthers, they’d rather avoid the effort and just get to the benefit. I wish I could say it’s otherwise. After all, making unit testing a standard practice in a company’s software development process is probably the […]
‘DevOps in the Multicloud World’ Virtual Summit Puts IBM Z in the Spotlight
Got mainframes on the mind? Wonder how you can unlock the value of the platform for mission critical workloads? Trying to figure out where IBM Z fits in an increasingly cloud native IT environment? Those questions and others will be discussed in an upcoming virtual summit that explores the role of IBM Z —within the […]
To Build a Healthy DevOps Culture, Look to Your Ecosystem
How do you do DevOps? Here’s a hint: Don’t fixate on finding the right tools or implementing the right processes. Instead, think about the broader ecosystem in which you operate, the culture that prevails in that ecosystem and which parts of the culture you can borrow to help enable your DevOps transformation. This is true […]
Automated Multiplatform Deployment for DevOps
In a simpler world, every CI/CD pipeline would need to support only one deployment platform. In the real world, multiplatform deployment (which means deploying an application to run on multiple OS platforms) is a must-have for many organizations. We live in an age of diverse operating systems and deploying for only one platform is often […]
