Add extensionpoints for test case project

We are using "IMS Transaction Test Case Project" as a tool to submit an IMS-transaction for debug.

As today every developer needs to manually add testdata, What we suggest is an extensionpoint (i.e. MenuManager in IBM Developer for Z) that let us add customized functions.

One exampel is to gather data from test environment, update testcase (.ttc/xml) and then refresh the project. As long as there are some extension point in a test case project we are probably able to find a solution to ease the burden of updating testdata for the developers.

Thanks.

    Thank you for your interest in keeping IMS a vital and successful product.

    After reviewing this request for enhancement, we would like to get more information about the desired extension points and the types of format for the load data. We would be reaching out to you for more detail information to help us to assess the technical feasibility of this item.

    Thank you very much for your continued support of the IMS product.
