Our shop was  long time user of MFEE so this is what I am comparing Enterprise Developer with.

Is there a way to compile a program in Enterprise Developer and test the code through debugger without restarting the CICS server, essentially a new copy?

You can explicitly tell CICS that you have a new copy of the program, using either the "CNCL" transaction or "CPMT NEWCOPY":

(Use CPMT NEWCOPY if you have a PPT defined for the program, CNCL if not.)

For a development region, it's often more convenient simply to configure the region with Force Phase In, which tells MSS to always load the program from disk (unless it was loaded with HOLD). To set Force Phase In, start the region and change the setting on the ESMAC Control page:
