Agentic Method for Deterministic Validation of Legacy Code Migration
Migration of legacy COBOL programs to Java requires extensive testing to ensure correct functionality. This effort is often complicated by the lack of test data and the difficulty of validating all corner cases. In this paper we propose a novel agentic test-synthesis method, the "Locksmith Loop," which is initiated by preparing two runtime environments: the COBOL source and the generated Java target are each instrumented with mocks and executed off-mainframe on commodity hardware, then an iterat
