- Integrated mainframe modernization workflow
AWS Transform for mainframe now provides a connected, traceable workflow from assessment through code generation for modernizing mainframe applications. This streamlines the process for enterprises previously reliant on multiple tools and manual handoffs.
- Traceable code generation and documentation
Selected business functions flow directly into code generation, producing traceable cloud-native code. Interactive documentation can be generated for requirements or code directly within IDEs via MCP-based integrations.
Enhancements (1) ›
- Automated assessment and requirement generation
The tool systematically identifies discrete business functions from a z/OS COBOL and PL/I portfolio and generates development-ready requirements with full traceability. This integrated approach supports auditing transformation decisions back to their origin.
