Nothing sophisticated (e.g. multi-task, PC's, SSI, SRB, exits & more) can be 
tested with TSO TEST nor TESTAUTH.

I suspect that IBM Debugger is for applications debugging instead of system. 
It's probably closer to the TSO TEST implementation and missing many of the 
important zXDC features.

I suggest looking at CBTTAPE.ORG to see if someone has published some form of 
debugger. 

It shouldn't be difficult to write a basic debugger using SLIP, TSO CONSOLE and 
IPCS. It would definitely be better than TSO TEST. Setup IPCS to access all 
ASID's when using active allows you to display storage. Write an MPF EXIT that 
issues a WTOR for the SLIP messages. Use TSO CONSOLE to manage SLIPs and reply 
to the WTOR's.
