Software and services that test and fix bugs in code companies moved from old systems to new languages with AI.
AI-assisted code migration verification & remediation
Companies are already using models to rewrite legacy systems, and Hacker News (Algolia) showed an AI migration from COBOL to Java that produced bugs. New models like Qwen3.8-Max and a Marc Benioff-backed startup promoting AI deployment are accelerating rewrites and deployments, so there’s a clear need for tools to test and fix migrated code.
