Last year we showed how BMC AMI DevX Code Insights turns opaque COBOL into something a developer can read. Real-time execution visualization mapped what programs do at runtime. GenAI-driven code explanation translated the logic into natural language. That work lives at the program level.

BMC's ABC Method (Analyze, Build, Convert) starts with Analyze, and two new capabilities push that phase further. Application Analysis answers the portfolio question: which applications deserve modernization investment based on complexity, failure history, and maintenance cost. Program Requirements answers the specification question: what must each program accomplish, expressed as formal requirements a Java or cloud-native developer can consume directly.

Join the BMC AMI DevX team for a walk through the expanded Analyze phase, with live demonstrations of both capabilities and guidance on how they fit into an ABC modernization workflow.
