An apparatus, system, and method are disclosed for delivery of software. A
snapshot module is included to create a snapshot of development software
libraries still in a development phase, the development software
libraries comprising substantially an entire replacement set of software
code. A testing module is included to apply a set of tests to the
snapshot to ensure that the snapshot is substantially free from defects
and a delivery module delivers the snapshot to a user. The snapshot may
be configured for a mainframe computer operating system such that a
previous version of the software code is replaced in a single operation.
The mainframe computer operating system may be the z/OS operating system.
