Both Micro Focus COBOL and IBM COBOL have support for Unit Tests.

Micro Focus runs off the mainframe and can also run in Windows & Linux containers, making it easy to integrate with Jenkins, locally and in the cloud. You have the choice of either deploying the application as native code or jvm bytecode, .net or .net core.

The development experience includes Eclipse/Visual Studio, so the projects from these can be used to build, test, analyze, and deploy the applications.

Plus if you want to migrate an application off the mainframe you can use azure/amazon either using VMs or kubernetes.

A quick start guide on Amazon, is a good place to start.
