Has anyone used any of the following unit test frameworks for COBOL?
1. https://github.com/OlegKunitsyn/gcblunit
2. https://sites.google.com/site/cobolunit/
3. https://github.com/neopragma/cobol-unit-test/wiki

Opinions?

1. Everybody's got one.
2. They all stink.
3. Nobody wants to look at the other guy's.

... or so I was taught.

Thank you, sir. A COBOL track on exercism.io now looks considerably more
likely

Wow... Even COBOL has a package manager in 2021! What a time to be alive.

Thanks Justin.
Your post made me smile.
I spent 3 hours today on GitHub trying to clone a MS repo for the new

I am no wiser...
But I am certainly better informed. :-)

Pete.
