COBOL to Java & C#
• Predictable & Repeatable
Watch SoftwareMining's guide to planning an enterprise COBOL-to-Java or COBOL-to-C# migration, covering automated code conversion, rule-based translation, application assessment, testing, data migration, costs, online screens and risk management.
This video explains the principal activities involved in converting an enterprise COBOL application into maintainable Java or C#. It covers application assessment, automated translation, data migration, functional-equivalence testing, project costs and the conversion of online screens.
SoftwareMining provides an automated, rule-based COBOL-to-Java and COBOL-to-C# Conversion Toolkit that enterprise customers and system integrators can operate within their own infrastructure. Source code, business data, testing and deployment remain under client control throughout the modernization project.
The original COBOL application provides the behavioural baseline for validating the converted system. Representative business data and workloads can be processed by both applications so that files, reports, database updates, return codes and online transaction results can be compared before production deployment.
The presentation compares automated COBOL-to-Java and COBOL-to-C# conversion with manual rewriting, explains why functional-equivalence testing is a major project activity and shows how data migration and online screen conversion fit into the wider modernization plan.
