Application - Config - Modules

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

Info

Summary: These options enable you to configure how Modules are configured in your Application analysis.

Introduction

Modules are used extensively in CAST Imaging and CAST Dashboards as a means to configure analysis results into meaningful groups or sets for display purposes:

Indeed, objects that are not part of a module:

cannot be seen in CAST Imaging/CAST Dashboards
cannot be included in Architecture Models
cannot be included in Transaction/Function Point****configurations

The definition of modules within applications also impacts the accessibility and usability of application assessment results. Specifically, in the CAST quality and quantity model, the module is the smallest assessment entity. The definition of a module can improve the relevance of the analysis results by linking modules to development teams and application functional layers etc. See also**Defining consolidation weighting settings** for more information.

Application - Config - Architecture

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

Info

Summary: this section provides an introduction to working with Architecture Checker modelsfor your Application.

Introduction

Architecture Checker models are used to check the organization, architecture and structure of an Application’s source code. Within a model, layers and dependencies between these layers are configured to reflect how an Application SHOULD/SHOULD NOT be structured. Each layer captures objects matching a selection criterion and each dependency specifies which link types are authorized or forbidden between these layers.

Application - Config - Enhancement Measure

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

Info

Summary: This option allows you to switch between the two different Enhancement Function Point measurement systems for the current Application.

You can switch between two different Enhancement Function Point measurement systems available in AIP Core:

Automated Enhancement Points (AEP) - default
Enchancement Function Points (EFP) - legacy

You can find out more detailed information about these systems in:

CAST OMG-compliant Automated Function Points
- CAST Automated Enhancement Points Estimation - AEP
- CAST Enhancement Function Points Estimation - EFP

Application - Config - Assessment Model

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

Info

Summary: these options allow to you make basic configuration changes to the default Assessment Model delivered with AIP Core and any extensions that have been installed.

Introduction

At the core of the measurement mechanisms that are used during an analysis is the Assessment Model: a set of rules, sizing/quality measures and distributions in a hierarchy of parent Technical Criteria and Business Criteria that are used to grade an Application and to provide information about any defects (code violations) in the Application’s source code. The set of rules, sizing/quality measures and distributions are predefined and preconfigured according to established best practices, however, it is possible to modify some aspects in order to match your own environment, for example:
