COBOL to Java, C#
& Cloud
In addition to translating COBOL applications into Java, SoftwareMining now integrates with ChatGPT to generate enhanced documentation for COBOL systems. This optional feature not only modernizes the application code but also produces clear, AI-generated documentation that helps Java developers understand and maintain the translated applications with ease.
We are also exploring integration with other Generative AI (GenAI) models, including the open-source Code Llama, to further expand automated documentation capabilities.
SoftwareMining addresses the documentation challenge from a modern Java perspective. After translation, the system can optionally send the generated Java code to ChatGPT or another GenAI model for further enhancement. The AI reviews the structure, identifies key processes, and adds readable comments directly into the code.
The result is Java code that is both functionally equivalent to the COBOL source and self-explanatory, improving long-term maintainability and reducing developer onboarding time.
By integrating ChatGPT into the translation process, SoftwareMining delivers automatically generated explanations, summaries, and flowcharts that make the new Java application easier to understand. Typical AI-generated content includes:
These AI-generated insights supplement the automatically translated code, helping organizations accelerate modernization and improve developer productivity.
At SoftwareMining, modernization means more than code conversion. Our ChatGPT integration redefines how legacy systems are understood, documented, and evolved. The approach ensures that your transition from COBOL to Java is efficient, transparent, and sustainable.
Enhanced documentation bridges the gap between legacy COBOL and modern development standards, ensuring that your applications remain reliable and maintainable for years to come.
