Abstract :
The case study presented in the paper shows how a simple prototype can be used to verify, before production, that a system will perform at an acceptable level under realistic conditions. The study involves the first implementation of American Management System´s Federal Financial System (FFS), a financial accounting application, in a customer information control system (CICS) DB2 environment running on a large IBM mainframe
