IBM’s generative AI tool aims to refactor ancient COBOL code for its mainframes

IBM is using AI to help refactor COBOL code into Java on its mainframe systems. The WatsonX Code Assistant, set to launch in Q4 2023, combines AI with human developers to analyze, refactor, and test new object-oriented code. IBM aims to make the generated code interoperable with COBOL and certain mainframe functions. The move addresses the challenges of maintaining legacy COBOL systems while modernizing them. The process involves three steps: refactoring, transforming code into Java or COBOL, and validation with AI-assisted testing. AI offers the potential to accelerate the process of updating and extending COBOL systems while maintaining functionality.
