CDDC for Db2 z/OS
Align Continuous Delivery (CD) to your Continuous Availability with four levels of testing
CDDC for Db2 z/OS Is a pipeline to support fully automated testing of the new Db2 agile delivery. CDDC supports four different levels of testing and a new way of automation. CD-Screening allows you to pick and choose from KPI based test automation. The levels include simple anomaly alerting, access path verification, clone Pre-apply and even workload capture/replay to easily discover any different behaviour resulting from a new CODE, CATALOG or FUNCTION LEVEL.
1. Anomaly alerting based on Incompatibility Change Indicators (ICIs)
2. Dyn./Stat. Access Path Change Detection e.g. via Plan Management
3. Clone based code change pre-apply exploiting Backup System
4. Workload-KPI verification using SQL replay and KPI comparison
Automated testing & virtualizing in four levels insures reliable quality insurance
All results are automatically analyzed to generate multi level reports
Fully automates the process of setting up a production clone for testing
- Exploiting non-disruptive, resource friendly flashcopies
- Simulating CPU and storage by virtualization technology
- Comprehensive process, including routing, FTP, operating commands
- Dynamically supports a variety of source (production systems) with a single one time setup
- Fully flexible in regards of customization via XML scenario scripts
Capture/Replay covers the entire production workload and include
- Inconsistency checks
- Access path comparison
- SQL workload result verification
- Resource monitoring
