I'll give you some IBM examples (in no particular order), and there are undoubtedly others. As another commenter hinted, this category is gigantic in the mainframe "we're fanatical about software quality" world of application development. IBM Workload Simulator for z/OS http://www.ibm.com/software/awdtools/workloadsimulator IBM Teleprocessing Network Simulator (TPNS) http://www.ibm.com/software/network/tpns IBM Rational Functional Tester Extension for Terminal-Based Applications http://www.ibm.com/software/awdtools/tester/functional/ext All three have test managers available or included. You may also want to browse the Rational software quality Web site. http://www.ibm.com/software/rational/offerings/testing.html Finally, if you're a DB2 shop, you'll probably want to take a look at the IBM DB2 Test Database Generator. http://www.ibm.com/software/data/db2imstools/db2tools/db2tdbg - - - - - Timothy Sipples IBM Consulting Enterprise Software Architect Specializing in Software Architectures Related to System z Based in Tokyo, Serving IBM Japan and IBM Asia-Pacific E-Mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
