Abstract

A computer-implemented method is disclosed in which locations of a plurality of Job Control Language (JCL) tests are obtained from a primary database supporting a software testing management platform. The locations the locations of the plurality of JCL tests are transmitted to a mainframe computing system (MCS) to initiate execution of the JCL tests. Based on transmitting the JCL test locations, execution IDs are retrieved for each of the plurality of JCL tests from the MCS. For each JCL test, the execution ID and an initial status of the JCL test are stored in the primary database. A query is transmitted to the MCS to determine an execution status of a given one of the JCL tests. Based on transmitting the query, a status update is received from the MCS for the JCL test, and the initial status of the JCL test in the primary database is selectively updated.
