TN BRIDGE Host Integration Pack 3.5

Legacy-Extension components - Development Lab

Development Lab is a research, tracking and testing environment that helps to reduce the times involved in planning, design, development and QA.

Development Lab will help you to develop your PC-mainframe applications in these scenarios:

In planning/design time, because you will understand the screen/events sequences produced by your host application. Then you can plan and test your navigation strategy through the host screens.
During development time, using the remote tracking functionality where you can connect to your TN BRIDGE-based development, even running on another computer. Also you can work in interactive mode to create code sniplets, for pasting them into your application.
To keep your deployed application error-free. You can work in Development Lab in order to connect and track a running application even from a remote workstation. Also you can locally save the trace information into a file for posterior analysis.
