AWS Transform for Mainframe

AWS Transform for mainframe now offers test planning and automation features to accelerate mainframe modernization projects. New capabilities include automated test plan generation, test data collection scripts, and test case automation scripts, alongside functional test environment tools for continuous delivery and regression testing.

The new capabilities address key testing challenges across the modernization lifecycle, reducing the time and effort required for mainframe modernization testing, which typically consumes over 50% of project duration. Automated test plan generation helps teams reduce upfront planning efforts and align on critical functional tests needed to mitigate risk and ensure modernization success, while test data collection scripts accelerate the error-prone, complex process of capturing mainframe data. Test automation scripts then enable scalable execution of test cases by automating test environment staging, test case execution, and results validation against expected outcomes.

By automating complex testing tasks and reducing dependency on scarce mainframe expertise, organizations can now modernize their applications with greater confidence while improving accuracy through consistent, automated processes.
