    At a minimum consider generating code for COBOL program coverage to create a starter pack of test cases. It is very time consuming to build a starter pack and build-as-you-go is not a reliable and good measure of quality of code.

    Thank you for taking the time to suggest an enhancement to our product. Many of our product enhancements result from feedback from our customers, so your input is always very important to us. We feel this is a valid requirement but delivery within the RFE 2 year window is not likely. Please resubmit in 12-18 months for reconsideration if still valid.
    Again, thank you for your suggestion and continued support

    A preliminary evaluation of this request indicates that it is consistent with our business strategy. Further evaluation of this RFE is underway.

    RBC needs the tool from IBM to provide auto - generated test cases for each type of mainframe elements: COBOL: JCL; SYSIN, PROC etc. It's up to IBM to provide the architecture solution and development implementation.

    If you need more information - p[lease specify what else RBC can provide.
    Thanks Vlad

    The general idea is to have some utility / tool allowing to auto-generate test cases for Cobol elements in similar way we have for distributed ( java) with tool Randoop.
