To assist in expediting mainframe application delivery via continuous integration and testing, IBM is introducing the IBM Continuous Integration Solution for System z (CIz). This is a complete solution for planning, automating, and monitoring application quality and testing, as well as linking testing to build and provisioning of application environments -- as a seamless process. Clients can get better quality, faster -- in some cases compressing the application delivery cycle from months to weeks or days, while reducing the cost of eliciting and repairing defects by up to 90%. In addition, automated mainframe testing can be performed at low-cost, using no mainframe development MIPS, by executing the tests on a x86-based z/OS environment.
