Tool-Assisted VB6 Upgrade Methodology: A Smarter, Faster Path to VB6 Modernization

Описание: Upgrading mission-critical legacy software always comes down to two high-stakes questions: how much will it cost, and how long will it take? In this video, Great Migrations explains why those answers depend heavily on methodology—and why a Tool-Assisted Rewrite can deliver more modernization value for the same budget than a traditional all-manual rewrite.

You’ll learn:
• Why modernization must balance perfect functional reproduction with strategic technology upgrades
• What makes a classic “from scratch” rewrite so expensive (software archaeology + heavy manual coding + long testing cycles)
• How Tool-Assisted Rewrite treats your existing source code as the most accurate blueprint, enabling higher accuracy from day one
• Why systematic, rules-based code production reduces random defects and shrinks the early bug-hunt/testing burden
• How the savings can be reinvested into high-value technical design: architecture, optimization, security, and meaningful platform upgrades
If you’re planning a VB6/ASP/COM to .NET modernization (or any large legacy upgrade) and want a path that improves predictability, scalability, and ROI, explore Great Migrations’ gmStudio platform and Tool-Assisted Rewrite methodology at www.GreatMigrations.com.
