Abstract
An automated system is presented for unit testing an application in a mainframe execution environment. A plurality of stub objects reside in the mainframe execution environment, such that each stub object in the plurality of stub objects represents a different stub type. A command translator table is configured with an entry for each command available for an online transaction processor. Each entry in the command translator table specifies a stub type for the command and includes a listing of possible arguments associated with the given command, such that each possible argument in the listing of possible arguments has a specified category type. A test configurator executes in the mainframe execution environment and is configured to receive and parse a test input file. A setup routine interacts with the test configurator to receive records from the test input file.
