Most organizations understand the value of modernizing mainframe application build and test processes, but bridging the open-source vs. traditional mainframe knowledge gap is often a barrier. This example entirely made up of open-source software may help get you started.
@Tatiana Balaburkina and @Vladimir Kudriakov recently shared this demo at the Linux Foundation's Open Mainframe Summit, showing an open-source DevOps toolchain driven by Jenkins. The source code, scripts and metadata files used to build this sample application are included. The 12 minute video demonstrates the toolchain in operation.
