The OpenLegacy platform can be accessed now directly from Topaz Workbench, an Eclipse-based software development environment within Topaz for Total Test. This provides developers with a common framework to create the API and to visualize, understand, debug, and maintain their mainframe-connected applications.
“OpenLegacy’s microservices-based API platform provides more than a façade,” said Jason Bloomberg, president of analyst firm Intellyx, in a statement, “as developers can work directly with the microservices in Compuware Topaz. The combination of the two vendors’ offerings thus gives mainframe developers unprecedented control and flexibility into their API implementations. This partnership empowers mainframe customers to incorporate mainframe applications into the modern, cloud-native world.”
