SQL-Ease for Db2 for z/OS Description
SQL-Ease for Db2 for z/OS significantly accelerates the processes of application review, debugging, and SQL performance optimization without requiring a departure from the ISPF edit environment. This tool effectively shortens development timelines by enabling developers to test and refine their SQL queries prior to the compilation of the program. Programmers can seamlessly test, debug, and optimize embedded SQL directly within the ISPF editor, utilizing various functions for generating, standardizing, checking, executing, interpreting, and analyzing SQL commands. SQL-Ease is capable of producing syntactically accurate SQL statements, including SELECT, UPDATE, DELETE, INSERT, MERGE, JOIN, UNION, and subselect queries, for languages such as COBOL, Assembler, SPUFI, PL/I, and C, and integrates the SQL into the designated location within the code. Additionally, it can transform manually written SQL into a uniform, easily comprehensible format, verify the syntax of SQL queries, execute SQL from both application programs and the SQL Editor, while also returning results accompanied by crucial execution metrics that aid in further performance tuning. Ultimately, SQL-Ease serves as an indispensable tool for developers looking to enhance their workflow while ensuring high-quality SQL performance.

Engineering teams shipping with AI have a new bottleneck: validation. Code output has accelerated. Quality hasn't. Checksum closes the gap.
Checksum is a continuous quality platform with a suite of AI agents that handle testing end-to-end, at every stage of the development lifecycle. Where most tools wait for a human to trigger them, Checksum runs autonomously in the background, generating tests, executing them, and repairing failures without manual intervention. Seventy percent of test failures are resolved automatically through real-time auto-recovery.
The platform covers every layer: end-to-end UI flows via Playwright, API endpoint chains, and targeted CI tests scoped to exactly what changed in a PR. All tests land as real code in your repository and are delivered as standard Playwright, owned by your team.
Checksum is fine-tuned on 1.5+ million test runs and integrates natively with Cursor, Claude Code, and 100+ AI coding agents. Type /checksum and your coding agent's output gets tested before it ever reaches review. Generation and healing happen on Checksum's cloud infrastructure which means no LLM tokens consumed, no local resources required.
The result: test suites that stay green as the product evolves, fewer regressions reaching production, and release confidence that scales alongside AI output.
