ABSTRACT:
As companies implement SOA and extend their mainframe applications as Web services, their IT environment becomes more complicated because of extra technology layers involved. The costs of maintaining application quality and performance, in terms of resource utilization, consumption and additional quality assurance processes, can escalate rapidly due to this increase complexity.

This white paper explores a comprehensive set of application quality assurance and testing tools. Discover how to improve application quality and extend mainframe applications within an SOA environment. Explore the automation of mainframe application performance management and opportunities for proactively identifying problems before they affect production. Learn why automated application quality is fundamental to the delivery of the service levels and managed risks that are essential to delivering business outcomes you can depend on.
