Code Inspection and Application Assessment

KRIS for Windows (or Linux) is a complete and integrated solution for both Code Inspection and Applications Assessment.

The KRIS softwares suite for Legacy applications (written in Cobol or C, with CICS, IMS, SQL, JCL, NATURAL, Adabas):

1. automates legacy code inspection,
2. automates applications repositories creation,
3. collects data required for code measurement and applications assesment,
4. enables various facilities such as system impact analysis or dead code cleaning.

Getting the most out of existing application assets

Too often, IT organizations don’t have a clear understanding of their critical business applications. Years of work have gone into the applications that run our organizations today, based on multiple technologies and languages, built upon the intelligence of people who are most likely no longer part of the team.

Because of this, IT managers need to analyze existing applications and systems within the portfolio. Specifically, they need to understand what is in place and what the dependencies are across applications. Then IT managers must effectively build a plan that serves as a guide on how to maintain key applications, mitigate risks and adapt easily to future development standards. All this must be done while ensuring that the changes made to the applications do not make them less capable of evolving in the future.

Automated solutions

KRIS enables both application assessment services and code inspection/normalization services that are designed to deliver the detailed information to measure, monitor, evolve and control one or more of your critical applications.

Your own teams or your consultants, relying on ASETECHS’s advanced source code analysis technology, will help you to understand areas of concern, including areas of high complexity, high risk and lack of adherence to architectural, coding, documentation and security standards. Assessing the health, internal quality, complexity, maintainability and functional size of an application can be a daunting manual task that takes time and expert resources.

Automation of Legacy Application Assessment at a Price/Performance ratio without competition provides a huge, instant return on investment (ROI) by helping fix distressed projects, or improve your core business application assets. Code inspection and normalization when automated with KRIS become a source of dramatic cost reduction and quality improvement.
