We capture what your system does today, then every phase has to prove it still does it.
We modernize application codebases: unsupported framework and language versions, monoliths that block the roadmap, dependencies nobody wants to touch.
It runs the business, the people who wrote it are gone, and nobody wants to be the one who changes it.
Security, compliance and hosting all know it. The upgrade has been postponed for years.
W3Techs shows 37.9% of PHP sites on PHP 7 or older, past end of security support. Statcounter puts 28.1% of Windows desktops still on Windows 10, months after support ended.
The people who know that stack are retiring or expensive, and the pool gets smaller every year.
Modernization goes wrong in a predictable way: someone starts changing code before anyone wrote down what the system actually does.
The only reliable source is what the system does today.
Before touching anything, we analyze the stack and write the suite that captures how the system behaves today, including the quirks your business depends on.
Every modernization phase is checked against the suite of current behavior. A phase that cannot prove the same behavior on the new platform does not go live.
We measure and record coverage first. It can rise, never drop, so on months of work nobody cuts tests to save time or leaves the project half done and unverified.
Modernization is a line of the AI Software Factory, which turns a specification (what a change must do and how to check it) into code.
AI reads the codebase, and we map what the system does, what depends on what, and where the risk concentrates. You get the map even if you stop here.
We write the behavior suite, and it passes against the current system.
The factory moves one part at a time to the new platform, and each part must pass the suite before going live. Old and new run in parallel, and your team, or ours, approves every change.
The modernized system goes live. You keep the suite, the recovered documentation and the repository.
The modernized system, on mainstream, supported technology.
The behavior suite that proved the new system does what the old one did. It passed on both and protects every change made after us.
Your repository, documented, including the specification recovered from the code itself: what the system actually does, written down.
The phase record: what moved in each phase, and what it was verified against.
Done means: every phase passed the suite that was green on the old system, and coverage never went down.
It depends on the size of the system, and anyone answering before looking is guessing. What we can scope quickly is the first phase.
We scope it after we assess the system. We do not quote before reading it.
Yes. Parts of the system move one at a time, and the old and new systems run in parallel.
It does not go live. The suite shows us the failure before your users see it.
You do: the system, the suite, the recovered specification and the repository.
One working session: we look at the system together and map the risk, the phases and what the tests must cover. You leave knowing whether it is an upgrade, a migration or a deeper restructuring, and what each would take.
