Description

Gain an in-depth insight into your software through Embold's detailed analysis and user-friendly visuals. With these intuitive graphics, you can clearly grasp the size and quality of each component, allowing for an immediate comprehension of your software's overall condition. Dive into issues at the component level using informative annotations that pinpoint their exact locations within your codebase. Explore the entire web of dependencies among your software components, gaining insight into how they interact and affect one another. Our innovative partitioning algorithms enable you to swiftly identify opportunities for refactoring and breaking down complex components. The EMBOLD SCORE, derived from four key dimensions, highlights which components significantly impact overall quality and should be prioritized for resolution first. Furthermore, assess your code’s structural integrity utilizing our distinctive collection of anti-patterns, applicable at class, functional, and method levels. Embold also incorporates various metrics, including cyclomatic complexity and coupling between objects, to comprehensively evaluate the quality of your software systems. This multifaceted approach ensures that you are equipped with the necessary tools for maintaining high-quality code.

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.
