There are a lot of testing strategies here There are several variety of tests : integration tests, performance tests, volume tests, regression tests, stress tests etc. You can test a all cluster of courses or a whole day or night of production. You need to know the expected results, discuss with business analysts, with system team, with Capacity team, ….And you will have to know a lot of equipment or technic : Strobe, File Aid, Ecomp, CA7, report Excel, Word, DB2, CICS, zOS, Sort, backup, recovery, etc.
mainframe testing is also comparable to client-server testing. it requires straightforward knowlege of SQL query processing, some understanding of COBOL and JCL.
