  • COBOL Code Refactoring & API Development

    COBOL Code Refactoring & API Development

    COBOL applications are often monolithic and challenging for many developers to maintain and modernize. Re-use and re-purpose COBOL programs with NEW re-factoring tools for Visual COBOL. Developers can now turn tightly coupled code into reusable components based on proven value. Quickly, isolate and extract COBOL business functions to develop automated unit tests or expose as APIs using inbuilt REST web services framework.
