Testing WebSphere MQ applications

 

The application development environment for WebSphere MQ programs is no different from that for any other application, so we can use the same development tools as well as the WebSphere MQ trace facilities.

When testing CICS applications with WebSphere MQ for z/OS, we can use the CICS Execution Diagnostic Facility (CEDF). CEDF traps the entry and exit of every MQI call as well as calls to all CICS services. Also, in the CICS environment, we can write an API-crossing exit program to provide diagnostic information before and after every MQI call. For information on how to do this, see Using and writing applications on WebSphere MQ for z/OS.

When testing i5/OS applications, we can use the standard Debugger. To start this, use the STRDBG command.
