Mainframe System-Level Testing & QA

We perform thorough unit testing of each new or modified program, including regression testing and analysis, to make sure the application as a whole still works as expected after every code change.

Why it matters

The systems your business can't stop

On a system that runs around the clock, a change is only finished when it is proven. We test the program, the application around it, and the interfaces it touches.

For larger changes we run old and new code side by side on realistic traffic, and we design the rollback before the cutover.

What we do

What's included

  • Unit testing of each new or modified program
  • Regression testing and analysis
  • Certification support with networks and ATM vendors
  • Side-by-side runs of old and new code
  • Testing on simulated production traffic
  • Rollback planning before cutover

In practice

Where testing matters most

  • Card-network and compliance mandates
  • Cryptographic and HSM changes
  • Data-platform migrations
  • Platform consolidation after a merger
  • Any change to a 24/7 transaction system

How we work

Not a body shop. Not a slide consultancy.

Senior only

Experienced engineers with deep mainframe backgrounds. The engineers named in the scope do the work.

Fixed scope, fixed fee

Every engagement is scoped in writing and priced before week one, with milestone billing.

Change as little of the core as possible

We work in the I/O modules and copybooks, keep your business logic, and prove changes before cutover.

U.S. team

U.S. citizens on U.S. payroll. No offshore handoff.
