Agile is a great way to quickly deliver the functionality that the business needs. CAST Application Intelligence Platform (AIP) is perfect for Agile teams working in a complex enterprise systems environment. CAST AIP helps automate the code review process and provides architectural feedback continuously to your teams so that they don’t have to waste valuable resources, or their time, to ensure the quality of deliverables is not compromised.
CAST Makes the Invisible Visible
CAST AIP enables better control of architecture and Technical Debt that supports working at ‘Agile speed.’ CAST will:
- Aid rapid visual inspection of the architecture to detect quality problems
- Capture an emerging architecture from automated analysis of relationships in the source code
- Provide visibility into and measurement of Technical Debt so that can be assessed and managed
- Increase the speed of team learning and the improve individual craftsmanship
- Document immediately and accurately the source code base without taking developer time to produce it
- Automate detection of quality problems in the build environment for which test cases are difficult to write
- Support visibility to faster and more confident refactoring
- Provide critical technology for implementing Jidoka, the second pillar of Lean, in Agile software development
