Large applications may comprise of hundreds or even thousands of programs.
By identifying sets of associated programs, SoftwareMining Analytics tool helps in documenting the application,
identify scope for the set's test cases, and to prioritize the data-migrated required for the tests.
The tool can then forward the set of the related programs to SoftwareMining Translation tool for migration to Java or C#.
SoftwareMining Analytics tool runs on Microsoft Windows, and requires the application's COBOL programs, copybooks, JCL and any BMS files to be copied to a repository on the machine.
It can analyse the repository to provide the following information:
Inventory Analysis - identify missing programs or copybooks
Call Chain Analysis Flowcharts
Basic Program Flowcharts
Identify related program set to Translation Engine (Use of the Translator is not Free-of-Charge)
Cyclometric Complexity Analysis for each programs.
