What does Metamon Discover do?
Metamon Discover tracks the execution of applications and programs during test runs, specifically targeting COBOL and Assembler applications in batch and CICS environments. It provides insights into which parts of the code have been exercised during testing.
Is this a system, application, or tool?
Metamon Discover is a tool set designed to enhance application development and testing processes within CICS and batch environments. It is not a system, application, framework, or middleware, but rather a specialized tool for monitoring code execution during testing.
What types of organizations use this?
Organizations that develop and maintain COBOL and Assembler applications, especially those running on z/OS in CICS and batch environments, benefit most from Metamon Discover. These are often larger enterprises in industries like banking, insurance, and government.
When should we consider Metamon Discover?
A company should consider using Metamon Discover when they need detailed insights into the execution paths of their COBOL and Assembler applications during testing. This is particularly useful for ensuring thorough testing and identifying areas of code that are not being adequately exercised.
What are the alternatives to Metamon Discover?
Alternatives to Metamon Discover include general-purpose code coverage tools and application performance monitoring solutions. However, these may not offer the same level of specific support for COBOL and Assembler applications in z/OS, CICS, and batch environments.
