AWS Transform for .NET evolved to automatically create unit tests for modernized .NET Framework applications as part of the migration process. This functionality generates test coverage for testable classes such as business logic and controllers within the transformed, buildable codebase, eliminating previous manual test writing requirements. Teams can enable this opt-in feature either at job start or after code transformation, ensuring a testing safety net integrated with the modernization workflow.

Supported via the AWS Toolkit for Visual Studio, the feature assesses application testability concurrently with migration and plans test generation accordingly. This represents an announced enhancement to AWS Transform’s capabilities, automating testing code production to aid developers during cloud or on-prem modernization projects.
