Abstract
According to one embodiment of the present invention, a system tests jobs in a computing environment. The system creates a test case for one or more existing executable jobs without modifying the job design or recompiling the executable itself, wherein the test case includes one or more capture points in a job flow of the executable jobs and corresponding rules for capturing data, identification of data for testing the one or more executable jobs, and rules for comparing the captured data to expected results. The system captures the data at the one or more capture points in the job flow in accordance with the test case and generates a baseline of expected results. The system executes the test case to test the one or more executable jobs by capturing data at the one or more capture points generated from execution of the one or more executable jobs and compares result data from the one or more capture points to the baseline of expected results in accordance with the comparison rules to determine a result of the test. Embodiments of the present invention further include a method and computer program product for testing jobs in a computing environment in substantially the same manners described above.
