BMC Compuware Abend-AID vs InterTest comparison

Abend-AID, Compuware’s mainframe application failure resolution and fault management solution, enables developers to reduce the tedious and time-consuming task of manually cross-referencing pages of recorded application memory information with pages of application code to understand why an application failure occurred.

Using Abend-AID, developers can:

• Identify errors and verify test results through a directory of all fault activity
• View the text of a statement causing an error and the contents of its related fields
• Clearly display data in storage and data being transferred between programs
• Identify field lengths and index values for multi-dimensional tables
• View source code for program logic
• Get richer, more complete insight into mainframe issues through an integration with Syncsort Ironstream^® including a Splunk^®app to help with analysis
