Our organization is updating a legacy mainframe application to a GUI
client-server application. On the mainframe EntireX Broker will be
installed. The client software will include the following:

1) Microsoft .NET
2) Software AG Communicator run time
3) Compiled .NET code, dynamic link libraries, and EntireX client

My question is what control weaknesses could be introduced by this change
and what tests would you recommend performing, besides basic application
control tests.

Thanks!
