End-to-end automation

Streamline code analysis

AWS Transform automates analysis of mainframe codebases and categorizes code components including JCL, BMS, COBOL programs, and copybooks. AI-driven insights identify dependencies and detect missing artifacts—generating visual representations of dependencies alongside key metrics such as lines of code and component classification.

Create comprehensive documentation

AWS Transform generates comprehensive documentation of mainframe applications, capturing business logic summaries, acronym definitions, and context-aware insights. This documentation acts as a structured knowledge base, making it easier for your teams to query and understand applications.

Break down monolithic applications

AWS Transform simplifies modernization and reduces risk by breaking down large, monolithic applications into smaller, manageable domains. Using semantic seeding, it organizes applications into logical domains while advanced dependency detection ensures proper separation of classified code.

Simplify planning and validation

AWS Transform automates modernization planning and testing workflows, reducing project timelines and risk. Agentic AI-powered automation streamlines modernization planning, prioritizing transformation phases based on lines of code, business objectives, or dependencies, while automated testing capabilities generate test plans, collect test data, and create validation scripts.

Intelligently refactor and reimagine applications

AWS Transform offers comprehensive modernization capabilities, from code conversion to complete application reimagining. Leverage the AI agent to convert legacy code into modern languages such as Java, while ensuring functional equivalence, or completely transform mainframe applications to meet evolving business needs. An optional reforge step further enhances your transformed Java code for greater readability and maintainability before deployment, accelerating your transition to the cloud.
