To Whom It May Concern: I think you are probably talking about "code quality", and, if it refers to COBOL source modules, there is a product on the market designed specifically to help manage the accuracy of that environment. And, for the automatic creation of test data, there is also a product that can automatically generate test data, files and tables that in full respect of the referential integrity provide for accurate testing in the shortest time, meaning more test sessions.

Sometimes, some really stupid coding errors make it past my own testing. If your are writing the code, and then testing it yourself, you're kind of in a tunnel-vision scenario. The best tools, IMHO, are 1. Code/design reviews 2. A thorough test suite. The hard part is not the driver for the test, but coming up with the actual test data to cover all code paths. - Shmuel (Seymour J.)
