In this latest episode, we chat with Senior Software Engineer Jeff Douglas. Jeff brings with him a 40+ year career in mainframe application development. His most recent endeavor being a beautifully (written-in) Assembler solution called IBM Wazi Virtual Test Platform. Jeff tells us that IBM’s Wazi VTP is actually about 650 programs, making up over 120,00 lines in code (with even more eloquent commenting throughout)! We’ll learn more about what it is and the history leading up to its creation. But IBM Wazi VTP allows a user to record and then replay their applications, by virtualizing the data and eliminating the need to have any middleware. No changes are made to a developer’s applications and this allows teams to massively shift-left development and testing efforts. Jeff is very excited about this mostly because of how significant and ground-breaking this is. We are entering a new frontier of application modernization and we get a front-row seat. Watch the demo too! While you're here, consider checking out some of our previous episodes. Enjoy!
