AWS Transform for .NET adds automated unit test generation and CLI support

Amazon Web Services (AWS) has announced updates to AWS Transform for .NET, a tool designed to migrate .NET Framework applications to modern .NET.

A key new feature is the ability to automatically generate unit tests for modernized code. This process assesses applications for testability during the standard assessment phase and generates test code for testable classes, such as business logic and controllers. This provides an automated safety net during the migration process, reducing the need for manual test writing. This feature is opt-in and supported via the AWS Toolkit for Visual Studio.

Additionally, the .NET modernization capability has reached General Availability (GA) and is now accessible via the AWS Transform Command Line Interface (CLI). Users can execute transformations using the 'atx custom def exec' command, allowing for integration into CI/CD pipelines and automated scripts.
