Question 1

What is code modernization?

Accepted Answer

Code modernization updates existing software to current languages, frameworks, architecture, tests, and security practices while preserving known behavior and customer-facing contracts.

Question 2

When should a team modernize instead of rewrite?

Accepted Answer

Modernize when the current system still contains valuable business logic, integrations, data contracts, or operational knowledge. Rewrite only when compatibility is no longer valuable or the product contract is intentionally changing.

Question 3

How does Autohand reduce modernization risk?

Accepted Answer

Autohand starts with repository analysis, scopes each change to a reviewable boundary, generates or updates tests, and reports the commands, files, and risks reviewers should inspect.
