This course provides an introduction to Hiperstation, an ISPF-based on-line testing tool.
Upon completion, students will be able to perform all of the basic functions of Hiperstation.
Primary Audience: Application Designers, Application and System Programmers and Quality Assurance practitioners.
Prerequisites: Introduction to Hiperstation or previous exposure to Hiperstation basic features.
This course builds upon the material presented in the Introduction to Hiperstation. It covers the advanced on-line features and on-line/off-line masking functions. Also included are the batch, multiple terminal testing facilities, and test reporting utilities. The final course segment, use of REXX and scripting language commands, is presented in the context of solving common test automation problems.
Upon completion, students will be able to perform all of the functions of Hiperstation, apart from the optional APCC feature.
Primary Audience: System Programmers.
Prerequisites: Intermediate Hiperstation and programming experience in a high-level language.
This advanced course is intended for system programmers. The course covers two subjects, REXX and APPC (Advanced Program to Program Communication), as they relate to Hiperstation. Both REXX programming and APPC protocols are first introduced as stand-alone topics. The course then shows how to use REXX to enhance Hiperstation scripts, and how to use the APPC conversation capture and replay facilities.
Upon completion, students will have a knowledge of REXX and be able to enhance Hiperstation scripts with REXX. The students will also have a basic understanding of APPC and how to perform APPC testing with Hiperstation.
