Moderne and Diffblue Announce Strategic Partnership to Accelerate Enterprise Application Modernization
MIAMI & OXFORD, England--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Moderne, the automated code refactoring and analysis company, and Diffblue, creators of the world's first AI-powered unit test writing agent, today announced a strategic partnership to deliver an integrated solution for enterprise application modernization. This collaboration combines Moderne's code transformation capabilities with Diffblue's autonomous test generation powered by reinforcement learning to help organizations modernize applications with confidence and speed. 'Combining best-in-class auto-refactoring and agentic test generation creates a new standard of speed and cost-effectiveness that will change how enterprises approach upgrading and rearchitecting their legacy applications.' With the new integration, Moderne and Diffblue customers – which include many Fortune 500 industry leaders – can quickly and efficiently tackle modernization projects by automatically analyzing their code base, generating a comprehensive unit test suite, refactoring their code, and deploying upgraded applications knowing that potential regressions have been caught and addressed. The integrated solution is particularly beneficial for large enterprises facing challenges such as technical debt, legacy system upgrades, and the need for rapid innovation. 'One of the biggest impediments to successful application modernization initiatives is the absence of a solid testing foundation that catches regressions as code is upgraded,' said Jonathan Schneider, CEO and Co-Founder of Moderne. 'By integrating with Diffblue, we're giving customers the ability to both refactor and test automatically—accelerating transformation while reducing risk.' Moderne's platform, built on the OpenRewrite open-source project, enables automated, safe, and scalable code transformations across entire codebases. Its deterministic approach ensures consistent and predictable results, facilitating tasks such as cloud migration, framework upgrades, and security remediation. Diffblue's flagship product, Diffblue Cover, utilizes reinforcement learning to autonomously generate unit tests for Java applications, enhancing code quality and accelerating development cycles. The integration delivers Diffblue's autonomous testing capabilities via an OpenRewrite recipe that can run at scale in the Moderne Platform and serve as a tool for Moderne's multi-repo AI agent, Moddy, providing the coverage and confidence for mass-scale changes. 'Our partnership with Moderne addresses a critical need to reduce the expense and cycle times associated with application modernization,' said Toffer Winslow, CEO of Diffblue. 'Combining best-in-class auto-refactoring and agentic test generation creates a new standard of speed and cost-effectiveness that will change how enterprises approach upgrading and rearchitecting their legacy applications.' To highlight how the integrated solution streamlines application modernization efforts, Schneider and Andy Piper, Diffblue's VP of Engineering, presented a joint demonstration at Code Remix Summit in Miami on Tuesday, May 13th at 9am ET. A webinar featuring a public demonstration of the integrated solution will be held next month, and interested parties can register here.

Azul and Moderne Announce Partnership to Boost Java Developer Productivity
SUNNYVALE, Calif. & MIAMI--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Azul, the only company 100% focused on Java, and Moderne, the automated code refactoring and analysis company, today announced a technical partnership to help Java development teams identify, remove and refactor unused and dead code to improve productivity and dramatically accelerate modernization initiatives. This collaboration integrates Azul's deep runtime visibility and Java expertise with Moderne's powerful platform for automated, multi-repository, rules-based code refactoring. Together, they enable organizations to continuously secure, maintain and modernize their Java applications with unprecedented scale and precision. Azul + Moderne product integration automatically identifies and removes unused and dead code based on production runtime information Share According to Azul's 2025 State of Java Survey & Report, 62% of survey respondents report that unused or dead code affects DevOps productivity, and 33% cite that more than half of their DevOps team's time is wasted addressing false positives from Java-related security vulnerabilities. To address this, Azul and Moderne have integrated their solutions to bridge runtime insight with automated code remediation. Code Inventory, a feature of Azul Intelligence Cloud, identifies unused or dead code based on production Java runtime data. The Moderne Platform then uses this intelligence via an OpenRewrite recipe to earmark deprecation status and drive precise, large-scale removal of unused code. This integration can save enterprise development teams significant amounts of manual work updating source code and fixing vulnerabilities as part of major Java upgrades and framework migrations. Many organizations are seeking to upgrade and modernize their applications to keep them secure and on supported frameworks and runtimes, but codebases can contain unused or dead code, third-party libraries and open-source components. Over time, teams have added features but not retired code that is no longer run in production, making ongoing maintenance and modernization more difficult and costly. This complicates an organization's innovation efforts and impacts migration speeds and developer productivity. Considering the millions of Java applications being run across enterprises today, this results in a significant amount of developer time lost updating meaningless code that must be constantly maintained and secured. 'This partnership is about more than identifying unused and dead code—it's about removing the barriers to meaningful modernization,' said Jonathan Schneider, co-founder and CEO of Moderne. 'By combining Azul's production-aware insights with Moderne's ability to safely and automatically transform code at scale, we're giving Java teams a clear path from understanding to action. It's a model for how runtime data and automated execution can work together to keep codebases lean, secure and ready for what's next.' 'Application maintenance is not a sexy task for Java developers but is an essential part of keeping applications secure and running on supported modules and infrastructure,' said Scott Sellers, co-founder and CEO at Azul. 'By providing developers with a solution for remediating unused or dead code that is 100% accurate based on production application runtime data, Java teams can focus on updating, migrating and modernizing only the application code that matters, dramatically increasing developer productivity.'

New bus service coming to Milwaukee, with daily routes to Madison and Chicago
A new, daily bus route will stop in downtown Milwaukee along its journey between Chicago and Madison. Beginning this summer, GOGO Charters will debut its Midwest Charter Network, providing daily service between the cities, plus three other stops along the way, a news release from the company said Wednesday. Fares will start as low as $10 but may cost more, depending on trip length and availability, Jonathan Schneider of GOGO Charters told the Journal Sentinel. More information and bus schedules will be released closer to when the route debuts, Schneider said. The Midwest Charter Network will also include routes between Chicago and Indianapolis, Chicago and Detroit, Indianapolis and Columbus, Columbus and Cleveland, and Cleveland and Detroit. Each route will include stops along the way. "Anchored in key Midwest population centers, the network will encircle the region and provide daily charter bus transportation to millions of potential passengers," GOGO Charters said in the release. "With luxurious motorcoaches departing daily, travelers will soon enjoy a refined, convenient, and connected alternative for regional travel." More information can be found at or on the GOGO Charters app available in the Apple App Store or Google Play Store. The new daily route will stop in the these locations: Chicago: Renaissance Chicago Downtown, 1 W. Upper Wacker Drive Waukegan, Illinois: Waukegan Station, 95 N. Spring St. Milwaukee: Milwaukee Marriott Downtown, 625 N. Milwaukee St. Sun Prairie: Sun Prairie Park and Ride, 2751 O'Keeffe Ave. Madison: The Madison Concourse Hotel, 1 W. Dayton St. GOGO Charters is a ground transportation services company that offers a variety of charter buses, mini-buses and motorcoaches for reservation nationwide. Daily, non-reservation-based services like the Midwest Charter Network are more regionally based, Schneider said. The company said it plans to introduce "several new routes across American cities" in 2025. GOGO said passengers can expect "modern buses" with amenities like reclining seats, Wi-Fi and on-board restrooms. Passengers can use the app to book e-tickets and view real-time trip-tracking.
