SPEAKER: Is legacy code holding you back from upgrading your customer experience? Attempts to modernize have dragged on for years with costly resourcing. The old code is complex and tightly coupled, making the system highly rigid and difficult to adapt. That's where Sapient Slingshot comes in. Let's say your company has an outdated application built on COBOL code that you want to migrate to Java. We use our AI framework to analyze and break down the old code and generate new code. We begin with three core steps in the modernization process.
Here's a sample of one million lines of COBOL code. This code references multiple data tables, has multiple embedded data structures, runs input through validation steps, and publishes the results. Our solution translates this program logic into a tech-neutral language that any developer or product owner can easily understand. Next, we leverage Gen.AI to create program flow diagrams and requirement documents in behavior-driven development format. This breaks down the program's logic into a clear, transparent format. These requirements can then be reviewed, enhanced, and signed off on by product owners based on target flow.
Once specifications are generated, they are used to generate design documents based upon target state architecture, such as high-level microservices architecture, ER diagrams, sequence diagrams, class diagrams, etc. Finally, specifications are converted into modular Java code, unit test cases, and automation test scripts using AI-generated prompts. To support comprehension, our solution also generates swagger specs for the REST APIs. Our solution accelerates the entire SDLC, from generating unit tests and running static code analysis to creating functional automation test suites. All of this happens in exponentially less time, resulting in fully migrated Java code with less defects.
But this doesn't stop at COBOL to Java. We can replicate this process with Sapient Slingshot for modernizing most technology stacks. Together, we can transform software development, increasing quality and performance. Get ready to be more productive than ever before. Now, your team can focus on what really matters. Your customers.
