- The Constraint column shows whether the component will retrieve data for an "engineering" (AED) or "analytics" domain (AAD), and whether an extension needs to be installed in order to generate results (and if we need a specific version or RestAPI). The CAST-RestAPI version indicated is the minimal version of the RESTAPI needed by this component.
- Due to backward compatibility, some components can have two different IDs, but the result will be the same.
- The Mode column shows whether the component is targeted at an Application or a Portfolio or an Application - the relevant option should be chosen in Report Generator (see image below). CAST recommends always selecting an Application when the target domain is "engineering" and when using Application mode, as it will avoid empty results (this is because in an "analytics" domain, violations and components does not exist for an application).
| Component Id | Description | Mode | Constraints | Parameters | Configuration sample | Output | Result sample |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| BUBBLE | Technical debt, TQI and Number of code lines. | Application | CAST-RestAPI 1.8.0 |
| GRAPH;BUBBLE GRAPH;BUBBLE;M=1241 | If no module selected, result is for the application. If a module is selected, result is for the module. X axis is for TQI score, Y axis is for Technical Debt, and bubble's size is the Number of kLoc |
|
| CAST_COMPLEXITY | CAST provides a distribution of objects based on several distributions:
| Application | This component is only relevant on an engineering database CAST-RestAPI 1.8.0 | None | GRAPH;CAST_COMPLEXITY | 2 distribution curves for each of selected snapshot (current, previous). X axis is the list of categories (low, average, high, very high). A category correspond to an interval of values of cast complexity calculated for the object Y axis is the number of objects in the categories |
|
| CAST_DISTRIBUTION | CAST provides a distribution of objects based on the chosen distribution. | Application | This graph is relevant only on engineering databases, it is empty on analytics databases. CAST-RestAPI 1.8.0 |
List of distributions :
| GRAPH;CAST_DISTRIBUTION;PAR=65501 | 2 distribution curves for each of selected snapshot (current, previous). X axis is the list of categories (low, average, high, very high). A category correspond to an interval of values of cast complexity calculated for the object Y axis is the number of objects in the categories |

GENERIC_GRAPH Updated in 1.12.0 with new axis (CUSTOM_EXPRESSIONS) | A Graph component is built based on a table structure. The idea is to fill data into the table of the graph to populate it automatically | Application | The selection of metrics by standard quality tag name should only be used for an application where the extension “Quality Standards Support” is installed. If not, no metrics will be selected and graph will be empty CAST-RestAPI 1.8.0 Quality Standard Mapping Extension | COL1=A,COL11=B,ROW1=C,ROW11=D,A=a,B=b,C=c|d,D=e|f|g where A,B,C and D are one of the axis above and a, b, c, d, e, f, g is one or multiple tags of the axis See more information in section about Generic components (Generic components in Report Generator 1.12.0) | GRAPH;GENERIC_GRAPH; | Depends on the selection.
