we have some COBOL Caller Handlers which are executed/called by external applications built in VB/Java. what we are looking is instead of going through other applications, is there way to call those caller handlers directly from Python so we can test them directly from Python automation framework
For the Java APIs I would recommend, ditching python and wrting the tests in Groovy.
This is a scripting language that runs on a JVM, which means it can call all java APIs natively.
As well as support the normal builtin scripting stuff like dictionarys, currying functions, regex support -- all valid java code is also valid Groovy code. So you can cut and paste your java API calls into your testing scripts.
what are my chances to call CICS Transactions or COBOL programs from Python
