BMC AMI DevX
BMC AMI DevX reimagines mainframe development by helping teams build better code with less friction, stronger flow, and a more modern developer experience. It unifies agile development, testing, debugging, promotion, and delivery in a mainframe-inclusive toolchain designed to support developers at every skill level. Teams can work directly in preferred environments such as Eclipse and VS Code, reducing context switching and simplifying onboarding for new developers. BMC AMI DevX helps streamline editing, build, source code management, approvals, and deployment through Code Pipeline, enabling concurrent development, faster releases, and more secure delivery. Code Insights gives developers real-time visibility into complex mainframe applications, helping visualize logic, dependencies, and monolithic code structures, while generative AI explanations support faster understanding of unfamiliar COBOL, JCL, PL/I, and Assembler code.

CodeTurn
CodeTurn is Astadia’s automated mainframe code conversion product, built to automatically transform legacy source code into modern source code that is maintainable and 100% functionally equivalent to the original. It takes an application’s source code and converts it to functionally identical sources, ready to run in an alternative environment on the same platform or on a different platform altogether. Because the conversion and testing are fully automated, the outcome of the modernization project becomes highly predictable in terms of risks, costs, and duration. The migrated application is free of dependencies on proprietary Astadia software and relies on native industry-standard technologies instead. CodeTurn integrates all aspects of conversion to produce high-quality, functionally equivalent code and is typically used with Astadia tools such as DataTurn for legacy data migration, TestMatch for automated testing, and DataMatch for automated batch testing.

Kuscos
Whether you are wanting to know what was added to that legacy Cobol system back in the 90s, or looking for advanced techniques to better manage your ongoing C# development project, Kuscos is the software intelligence platform of choice. For development teams, managers and executives, Kuscos delivers key information regarding source code modules and team members, from design documentation to dependencies, duplicate code and quality rule violations. Kuscos also provides oversight of team activities, from repository commits to issues resolved. Better still, the same platform does this across more than 16 legacy and modern software languages. As we pointed out in our earlier post, and according to the Standish Group, over the past 5 years only 29% of software projects could be described as successful (meeting time, budget and functionality goals). Improvements over time have been minimal despite increases in code development efficiencies and design processes
