BMC Compuware Hiperstation vs IBM Fault Analyzer for zOS comparison

Hiperstation provides automated functional testing capabilities that help DevOps teams reduce time-consuming, manual steps and ensure mainframe applications are thoroughly tested to safeguard superior performance, reliability and security.

Hiperstation enables developers to:

• Create automated, consistent, repeatable regression and performance tests representing application business requirements.
• Conduct pre-production performance testing for applications and systems software.
• Analyze test results in which all application response differences are identified.
• Thoroughly document mainframe application testing results.
• Simulate server application responses during a user interface test.
• Test changes to the operating system, language environment or subsystems.
• Test application changes without the user interface.

IBM Fault Analyzer for z/OS helps developers analyze and fix system and application failures for CICS, WebSphere MQ, IMS and DB2 environments. When an application ends abnormally, Fault Analyzer is automatically engaged, gathering real-time information about the event and its environment at the time of failure. This helps the development team to identify the cause, analyze what went wrong and resolve the problem in a more timely and efficient manner to avoid costly interruptions that could jeopardize application schedules and outcomes.
