New z/XDC software expansion improves accessibility and integrates into existing workflows while welcoming a new generation of programmers into mainframing
Izzi Software, owner of ColeSoft, the leading provider of debugging solutions for IBM mainframe environments, announces the upcoming release of z/XDC for Visual Studio Code, bringing its industry-leading debugging capabilities to the world’s most popular development environment. This innovative integration transforms mainframe software development by delivering powerful, interactive debugging directly within the VS Code IDE that millions of developers already depend upon. In advance of the new user interface, the company has also officially launched its new visual identity, logo, and website to better communicate what the company offers to the mainframe community.
“For more than 40 years, ColeSoft has produced superior debugging products for software engineers and support staff on IBM mainframes,” said Jennifer Nelson, CEO of Izzi Software. “This solution is pervasive, so releasing a modern UI for the mainframe community represents an important step in evolving this solution for the future and making it more accessible for new users while retaining its expansive features for veteran developers who prefer ISPF. A new generation of software developers can now leverage our powerful suite of debugging tools using a modern, familiar interface, eliminating the need to invoke a terminal emulator.”
The z/XDC plugin for VS Code brings the power of ColeSoft’s proven debugging suite directly into the VS Code environment. Developers will be able to debug mainframe software interactively in real-time leveraging z/XDC’s robust features, bridging the mainframe skills gap and accelerating productivity. Organizations interested in bringing enterprise-grade mainframe debugging to their VS Code environment can contact Izzi sales for product demonstrations, pricing information and trial access.
