Case Study: BMC Software accelerates z/OS debugging and problem resolution with ColeSoft Marketing’s z/XDC

BMC Software - Customer Case Study

BMC Software, a long-term customer of ColeSoft Marketing, needed a more effective way to debug and test its z/OS assembler and mainframe applications. Its developers wanted better visibility into code execution, control blocks, and program flow, especially as they worked with complex environments and 64-bit storage.

ColeSoft Marketing’s z/XDC debugging tool gave BMC Software instruction-by-instruction tracing, multiple breakpoint options, source-level viewing, and REXX support inside the debugging environment. BMC said this made debugging and problem resolution much faster and less difficult, helping developers deliver higher-quality enterprise solutions and shorten time-to-market, though no numeric metrics were provided.
