SoftwareMining’s CORECT Tool facilitates the transformation of COBOL application to a variety of languages such as Java (J2EE), C#/ASP and even ANSI/MF COBOL. The Primary Objective of CORECT has always been to generate ‘legible and maintainable’ code. The quality of code substantially affects the costs associated with future maintenance of the application.
The migration/transformation process can be achieved via 2 routes:
1. Heuristic based translation – where the AI based translator applies its own set of simplification rules to achieve legible and maintainable code.
2. Application of Business Rule Extraction on top of the heuristic based translation for more detailed customizations.
This then unlocks the legacy application making it ready for a total transformation service, where it is re-written in a variety of languages to suit the client requirement including Java (J2EE, Tomcat and WebSphere application servers), C# (For Microsoft .NET platform), MF COBOL, and Borland Delphi / Kylix (Linux Platform).
Approximately 95% of the legacy code is translated automatically using SoftwareMining's proprietary Artificial Intelligence-based tools with the remainder being dealt with in a semi-automatic manner by specialist transformation teams. This combination of innovative, unique, leading edge tools with specialist human intervention results in robust, high quality, flexible, scalable and fully documented code with a timescale of a few days rather than years for a fully manual process (e.g. 100,000 lines of COBOL code would take 1-2 man years to manually translate the SoftwareMining method takes between 10 and 20 days). In addition, during the transformation, the dead code and data groups are identified and such sections are commented out.
