Description

CoreStory serves as an advanced code-intelligence platform that leverages artificial intelligence to delve into enterprise codebases, revealing the intricate business logic, architectural frameworks, and technical interdependencies present in older systems. By employing a method of recursive decomposition and recomposition, it simplifies complex applications to create a comprehensive intelligence model that includes business requirements, rules, workflows, system design, and insights at the code level. This interactive platform provides teams with real-time capabilities to inquire about their code, navigate entry points, trace connections, and visualize architecture diagrams, thereby expediting processes such as modernizing legacy applications, maintaining software, governing AI-generated code, and onboarding developers. Additionally, CoreStory facilitates integration through API/MCP with essential engineering systems, allowing for the creation of visual dashboards, such as a business-process explorer, architecture explorer, and code entry-point explorer, further enhancing the user experience and operational efficiency. Ultimately, CoreStory empowers organizations to harness their legacy systems more effectively and make informed decisions regarding their technological infrastructure.

Description

eXplain is a robust tool developed by PKS Software GmbH for code analysis and the assessment of legacy systems, specifically aimed at performing in-depth evaluations of legacy applications on mainframe platforms like IBM i (AS/400) and IBM Z. This software allows organizations to gain insights into their software's contents, structural integrity, and identifies components that may be retained, improved, or phased out. By importing existing source code into a standalone "eXplain server," the tool eliminates the necessity for installations on the host system, utilizing sophisticated parsers to scrutinize programming languages such as COBOL, PL/I, Assembler, Natural, RPG, and JCL, along with information pertaining to databases like Db2, Adabas, and IMS, as well as job schedulers and transaction monitors. eXplain creates a centralized repository that functions as a knowledge hub, from which it can produce cross-language dependency graphs, data-flow diagrams, interface evaluations, groupings of related modules, and comprehensive reports on object and resource usage. This enables users to visualize relationships within the code, enhancing their understanding of the software landscape. Ultimately, eXplain empowers organizations to make informed decisions regarding the future of their legacy systems.
