Rocket Software Brings AI-Powered Modernisation Tools to Legacy Platforms
Rocket Software has enhanced its application modernisation portfolio for IBM i, IBM Z, MultiValue, and Uniface environments by adding artificial intelligence features. The update includes AI-based code analysis, AI-generated unit testing, AIOps functions, replication tuning, and governed AI features.
The goal is to help organisations running long-established business systems modernise their applications while working within existing workflows and business logic. Rocket targets platforms that remain central to many large companies but often face skills shortages and ageing development processes.
Rocket highlighted AI-generated unit testing for IBM i environments, which can raise code coverage beyond 90% while helping teams find issues earlier in the development cycle.
The launch comes as organisations try to update core software while managing a shortage of specialist staff. Rocket cited Linux Foundation research showing that 57% of organisations see upskilling existing employees as their main response to technical talent gaps.
