DevOp-ing the Mainframe

Our friends at Compuware recently published a how-to guide on successfully introducing DevOps to the mainframe world. Among the advice given is to modernize mainframe environments as much as possible. “A modernized mainframe workspace should possess the look and feel of the Eclipse-style IDEs that have become the de facto standard for other platforms. This user-friendly interface will allow staff at all experience levels to move easily between development and testing as they work on both mainframe and non-mainframe applications. Your modernized mainframe IDE will also support a complementary palette of value-added tools as you continue your mainframe transformation.”  Just as important: Agile training for staff.
