Compatibility matrix

This release of Report Generator GUI and for Report Generator for Dashboards functions with the following:

CAST RestAPI≥ 1.12.xMandatory
MIPS Reduction Index≥ 20200518

These extensions are required for Compliance Report generation. Depending on what "standard" you are targeting in your Compliance Report, you can install a combination of extensions:

  • To generate Compliance Reports for MIPS standards, you MUST always install the MIPS Reduction Index extension.
  • To generate Compliance Reports for CISQ, ISO-5055 and OWASP standards, you can install either the CISQ, ISO-5055 and OWASP extensions or the Quality Standards Mapping extension. If both the CISQ, ISO-5055 and OWASP extensions and the Quality Standards Mapping extension are installed, data is automatically taken from the CISQ, ISO-5055 and OWASP extensions at all times.
If you are using CAST AIP Console ≥ 1.14.0, the Quality Standards Mapping extension is installed with all new source code versions, however, you should ensure that the correct release of the extension is used.

Component AETP_LIST updated to increase precision for AETP valueNew option called "FORMAT" added to the AETP_LIST component to change the precision of the AETP value. The number of decimals for effort complexity, ratio and AETP count (N2 for 2 decimal places, N5 for 5 decimal places), by default N2. For example to list all the AETP values to five decimal places, use the following: TABLE;AETP_LIST;COUNT=-1,FORMAT=N5.
