The combination of application complexity, staff turnover, pressure to deliver and lack of discipline often results in less than adequate quality. Although many organizations have set programming standards for development teams, these are hard to enforce.

The technology of Application Mining helps improve Quality Control Management. CAST Enforce enables automated, real time quality control of software across all application tiers, not just for coding but also for architecture, with a focus on facilitating the immediate correction of the problem.

With CAST Enforce:

* Quality checks are not done on samples but on the entire application, as CAST Enforce covers the main programming languages, 4GLs, and types of SQL.
* Quality control or subcontracted project acceptance are fully automated, as early and as often as necessary in the project.
* Beyond metrics, practical graphical information is supplied to developers, to understand the root of the quality issue and to correct it with ease.

While organizations have to make their applications evolve evermore rapidly, software complexity is continually growing. In this constant state of flux and increasing complexity, how is it possible to find out which changes can be safely implemented without putting at risk the entire project? And how can the deadlines be respected despite the time delays created by these changes?

The technology of Application Mining helps improve Change Management. CAST Envision is an automated solution to evaluate the impact of change demands on entire applications or sets of applications, and facilitate the implementation of code modifications.

CAST Envision:

* Provides real visibility on the workload associated with any code modification, giving the control to make accurate resourcing decisions.
* Shows exactly what will happen when development teams make a change - at any level, be it object, table, column.
* Helps implement changes to the code the easy way thanks to its tight integration with the most popular IDE.
