Abstract: A mainframe testing framework is provided that permits users to execute and store API and/or service test logic for mainframe APIs or services on-platform and/or of platform, and to access the mainframe system to execute the test logic on an as-needed basis. An API/service to be tested is identified and a mainframe address space is created that hosts the API/service. A command syntax, a test command and a corresponding response are received by the mainframe address space. An automated test (stored on- or off-platform) is received that invokes execution of the test command. It then is determined if the corresponding response is received in response to execution of the test command.

Abstract: An integration framework is implemented to enable users of client side systems to integrate with and utilize mainframe systems, for example by enabling communication of commands to the mainframe and responses from the mainframe. A command is received by the integration framework via a command line interface (CLI) or in some instances an integrated development environment (IDE) on a client system. The command is converted by the integration framework to a format recognizable by an application programming interface (API) on the mainframe system. The converted command is communicated to an API on the mainframe system causing an operation corresponding to the command to be performed. A response based on the operation performed on the mainframe system is then provided back to the client system via the CLI or IDE.
