Documentation and code
flow analysis can alleviate the problem of system knowledge deficiency.
Unfortunately, due to the constant barrage of functionality and maintenance
requests
made on a development staff, documentation is frequently a low priority item
that
is rarely, if ever, addressed. Additionally, original programmers of older
legacy code tend to
no longer be with the business, thus requiring
manual reviews of the code. This manual process can
be extremely time consuming and labor intensive.
Datatek's code analysis tools use a compiler's point of view. Source code can be
analyzed in its entirety, not just line by line or file by file. This allows
for the extraction of information from source code, based on specified rules, in
order to generate information for documentation and analysis purposes.
The following list provides examples of the type of
information that can be extracted/generated:
- Variable and working storage field usage
- Database access
- Comment block extraction
- Calling trees
- Variable, coding, and source file statistics
- Customer-specific requests
What may take your programmers man-months to analyze and document can
be done by Datatek's automated programming services in a fraction of the time.
