CobolPro

CobolPro is architected as a z/OS-native application, leveraging the platform's security and resource management capabilities. The main components include: 1. **Coverage Analyzer:** This component processes execution trace data to determine statement-level coverage.

It reads trace data and COBOL source code as input. 2. **Report Generator:** This component generates detailed code coverage reports in various formats.

It uses the output from the Coverage Analyzer. 3. **Security Interface:** This component integrates with z/OS security systems such as RACF, ACF2, and Top Secret for authentication and authorization.

It enforces role-based access control (RBAC). These components communicate through z/OS system services. CobolPro uses configuration files to specify the COBOL programs to be analyzed and the location of execution trace data.

The tool supports batch and CICS environments. CobolPro integrates with existing z/OS security infrastructure, using standard z/OS security calls for authentication and authorization. The tool generates logs that track code coverage analysis and report generation.

These logs can be used for auditing and troubleshooting.
