Mock testing of cobol.net code accessing Main Frame systems

Question

I am looking for a way to optimise the unit tests.

The system is written in cobol.net and accesses a Main Frame using CICS universal client.

Is there a way to mock the call to the Main Frame?

Answer 1

Depending on the complexity of the calls, if might be worthwhile writing your own program to simulate the calls.

If you are using Fujitsu's NetCOBOL for .NET, NeoKicks http://www.alchemysolutions.com/products/NeoKicks/overview, might be worth looking at.
