Effective testing is essential for building robust systems. Dive deep into a structured approach to the testing pyramid for CICS applications. Using Test4z, we will demonstrate how unit tests form the foundation of the pyramid, enabling rapid validation of individual components. We'll then explore how integration tests and, finally, end-to-end tests in production-like environments build upon this foundation as you move up the testing pyramid.
