Description

Whether you're curious about the updates made to a legacy Cobol system during the 90s or seeking advanced strategies to enhance your current C# development project, Kuscos stands out as the preferred software intelligence platform. It offers development teams, managers, and executives vital insights into source code modules and team dynamics, covering aspects from design documentation to dependencies, duplicate code, and quality rule infringements. Additionally, Kuscos monitors team activities, tracking everything from repository commits to the resolution of issues. Remarkably, it achieves this across more than 16 different legacy and contemporary programming languages. As highlighted in a previous discussion, the Standish Group indicates that only 29% of software projects have been considered successful in meeting their time, budget, and functionality objectives over the last five years. Despite advancements in coding efficiency and design methodologies, overall improvements in project success rates have remained stagnant. This indicates a pressing need for better management tools, which Kuscos effectively addresses.

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.
