Modeling Process using software intelligence to identify potential performance issues earlier in the development lifecycle. Enriching dynamic testing with structural quality analysis gives ADM teams insight into the performance behavior of applications by highlighting critical application performance issues, especially when combined with runtime
information.
By adding structural quality analysis, ADM teams learn important information about violations of architectural and programming best practices earlier in the development lifecycle than with a pure dynamic testing approach. Structural quality analysis as part of the performance modeling process allows for fact-based insight into application complexity (e.g. multiple layers, dynamics of their interactions, complexity of SQL, etc.) and allows ADM managers to anticipate evolution of the runtime context (e.g. growing volume of data, higher number of transactions, etc.). The combined approach results in better detection of latent application performance issues within software. Resolving application performance issues early in the development cycle, these alerts help to not only save money but also prevent complete business disruptions.

Assessing application development like the rest of the business
Well overdue, it is time to measure application development and
maintenance the same way as the rest of the business, based on not just how much work someone does, but how well they do the work. As we know, looking to see if the code works as expected is only a single measurement. Knowing how easy it will be to maintain over time, how flexible it is to change as required by business changes, how quickly new team members can understand the code and get working on it and how easily the application can be tested are just some of the things that we need to look at in order to understand the real quality of the work being done by application development teams. When these measurements are combined with ways of counting the productivity (quantity) of development teams, we can get a real understanding of how well the teams are performing and what return is being realized from the investment. These measurements can be assessed both for in-house development organizations as well as the work being done by outsourcers.
The applications delivered by IT are a significant differentiator between competitors and therefore it needs to be managed as a core business process. Held up against corporate standards and no matter how or where the development work is done, it must be done well and the resulting applications need to be able to withstand time.

Cloud Migration: Azure acceleration with CAST HighlightCAST
Learn how to accelerate your cloud migration: https://www.castsoftware.com/use-cases/cloud-readiness-and-migration
Cloud migration is table stakes for digital transformation initiatives. The driving factors to get to the cloud vary from organization to organization...for some, it's about cost savings and for others, it's about creating smarter apps that support continuous innovation.
IaaS – For organizations looking to reduce costs, Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) is a great option. IaaS is sometimes described as "Lift and Shift" – when applications are moved from an existing infrastructure to a cloud infrastructure. This helps save money by reducing the hardware needed to run those applications and providing flexibility to adjust infrastructure requirements on-demand.
PaaS – For organizations looking for smarter deployments that facilitate digital transformation, streamline the delivery of new feature and support emerging technologies like IoT and Machine Learning, Platform as a Service (PaaS) is a more suitable option. While a considerable percentage of new application development is done with a cloud-first mentality, most legacy software is not optimized for a cloud environment.
So now the question becomes, how do I get my existing application portfolios ready for cloud migration so I can take full advantage of new technologies and processes
Software Intelligence-Based Cloud Readiness
So you’re ready for PaaS, but before you begin to assess the technical and structural requirements of the migration, you must also determine the business drivers for cloud and the desired outcomes. Setting a cloud migration roadmap that is based on comprehensive Software Intelligence that considers both business drivers and technical features of your applications is a critical first step.

A joint team from CAST and Microsoft worked to define rules that assess the ability of an existing codebase to migrate to Microsoft Azure. The team then integrated the rules into CAST Highlight and moved the solution itself to Azure.
In this report, we describe the process and what we did before, during, and after the hackfest, including the following:
• How we produced the rules that assess the ability to migrate to Azure
• How we benchmarked the rules
• How we migrated the CAST Highlight service to Azure
• What the architecture looked like and future plans
• Learnings from the process
Our first objective was to define rules that assess the ability of applications to migrate to Azure and integrate those rules into CAST Highlight. This was the more-complex task for our team.
Our second objective was to move the existing application to Azure, thus profiting from App Service features such as auto-scaling and deployment slots. The existing application is a Java web app running on Apache Tomcat and using PostgreSQL as its database. This is a frequent scenario for web applications running in Azure, so we did not anticipate having any issues with this task.

Digital Transformation e-book: Taking the 20X20n approach to accelerating Dig...CAST
More information on Digital Transformation here: https://www.castsoftware.com/use-cases/accelerate-it-modernization
The digital transformation wave is hitting its peak. An IDC
study found that global enterprise spending related to digital
experiences is set to reach $1.7 trillion in 2019.
The problem is that companies are spending heavily on
digital transformation, but not getting results: Approximately
59 percent of those polled in the IDC study identified as
companies at a digital impasse—stuck in an early stage of
maturation and struggling to move forward.
Digital transformation frameworks—formalized strategies that
define priorities and create clear technology roadmaps —are
essential to becoming a digitally mature organization. The
20x20n approach gives organizations an iterative, cohesive
base to build their efforts around. It isn’t just a high-level
philosophy, it’s a pragmatic, analytics-driven framework.

1) Computers will never be completely secure due to the immense complexity of software and the many potential vulnerabilities across entire technology supply chains.
2) The risks of computer insecurity are growing as computers are integrated into more physical systems like cars, medical devices, and household appliances through the "Internet of Things".
3) While technical solutions can help, the incentives for companies to prioritize security are often weak, and economic and policy tools may be needed to better manage cyber risks, such as through regulation, liability standards, and cybersecurity insurance.
Green indexes used in CAST to measure the energy consumption in codeCAST
This document describes CAST's Green IT Index, which aims to measure the energy consumption of code. CAST analyzes software at the system, module, and program levels using over 1500 checks. The Green IT Index aggregates quality rules related to efficiency and robustness, which impact energy usage. It is calculated based on rules in 5 technical criteria for efficiency and 3 for robustness. The index helps identify parts of software that could be optimized to reduce wasted CPU resources and lower energy consumption. CAST is seeking feedback on this approach to refine how the Green IT Index is composed.

Improving ADM Vendor Relationship through Outcome Based ContractsCAST
How shifting focus from time-based to outcome-based contracts improves supplier relationships and drives value.
One of the major challenges between a client and application development and maintenance supplier is that their relationship is defined by the production and management of time. Most ADM contracts can be reduced to a simple equation: Price = Rate(s) x Hours.
Suppliers remove Cost of Labor from rate to find profit, however; both parties manage time as the key variable. While these contracts are governed by project plans and deliverables, the client and supplier’s primary goal is to manage the consumption of time, not the production of business value.

Making Outcomes-Based Contracting Work With Facts
Introduction by Amit Anand, Robert Asen & Vijay Anand of Cognizant
Using metrics to develop effective results-based contracts
Managing outcome based application contracts requires a combination of scope management,
pricing, and, above all, quality. As suppliers and clients evolve the relationship, the
need for clear facts dominates conversations.
The premise of outcomes-based contracting is that hours (and indeed rate) are inputs to
the ADM process (not outputs), and that structures that measure programming results are
now both possible and achievable. Outcomes-based structures bring the original intent of
software to the forefront—creating successful results. While many companies have shifted
from input-based to output-based contracting, forward-thinking IT leaders are also taking
steps to define a sustainable outcomes-based relationship with their ADM suppliers.
Outcomes-based contracts focus on how the delivered product adds value, while inputand
output-based contracts focus on the resources and the activities needed to deliver the
outcome, respectively.

Shifting Vendor Management Focus to Risk and Business OutcomesCAST
The document discusses how service level agreements are evolving from conventional models focused on individual services to outcome-based agreements measured by overall business outcomes. It introduces CAST software as a tool for objectively measuring key performance indicators like reliability, maintainability, and security risk at the application level to establish benchmarks and monitor performance over time in support of outcome-based pricing constructs. The document argues that standard software quality measurement creates visibility and leads to cost reduction and improved business agility.
Applying Software Quality Models to Software SecurityCAST
The document discusses applying software quality models to assess software security. It summarizes research showing that projects with low defect densities during testing tend to have few or no security defects reported after deployment. Additionally, 1-5% of defects are typically vulnerabilities, so reducing defects through quality practices like the Team Software Process can also reduce vulnerabilities. However, challenges remain in directly linking quality and security metrics due to differences in how data is collected and reported for vulnerabilities versus defects.
The business case for software analysis & measurementCAST
As software becomes more integrated into our daily lives, companies are finding that visibility into the systems that run their business has many benefits: reduces business risks, increases revenue, and improves IT spending.
This whitepaper provides a framework for capturing the impact of software analytics on your business and a worksheet to help you create your own business case. Leaders that can clearly articulate this value are more successful than their peers in obtaining strategic support and funding for software analytics.
The cost of maintaining a software application is directly proportional to its size and complexity. IT organizations can take several steps using static code quality analysis to reduce size and complexity, and thus diminish their software maintenance costs.
Is your application system process facing problem? With the help of System-level analysis you can save your application from failures at different levels. It analyzes how the components are interacting at multiple layers & technologies. Keep your system efficient and secure.
The term ‘technical debt' and the challenges it can bring are becoming more widely understood and discussed by IT practitioners, vendor managers and business leaders. If you're looking at technical debt in your organization, or already thinking about measuring technical debt with your vendors, you will find this report useful.
What you should know about software measurement platformsCAST
Software analysis and measurement is a growing sector, and becoming a must-have in any company that runs on enterprise software. Do you know how to pick the right solution for your company? What are the essentials to delivering a comprehensive and actionable software quality measurement program to your entire enterprise? What about do-it-yourself solutions?

Webinar: Designing a schema for a Data WarehouseFederico Razzoli
Are you new to data warehouses (DWH)? Do you need to check whether your data warehouse follows the best practices for a good design? In both cases, this webinar is for you.
A data warehouse is a central relational database that contains all measurements about a business or an organisation. This data comes from a variety of heterogeneous data sources, which includes databases of any type that back the applications used by the company, data files exported by some applications, or APIs provided by internal or external services.
But designing a data warehouse correctly is a hard task, which requires gathering information about the business processes that need to be analysed in the first place. These processes must be translated into so-called star schemas, which means, denormalised databases where each table represents a dimension or facts.
We will discuss these topics:
- How to gather information about a business;
- Understanding dictionaries and how to identify business entities;
- Dimensions and facts;
- Setting a table granularity;
- Types of facts;
- Types of dimensions;
- Snowflakes and how to avoid them;
- Expanding existing dimensions and facts.
