CodeLogic
CodeLogic
Unlock hidden dependencies, enhance decision-making, streamline development process.
Establishing connections between various applications, forecasting the repercussions of code modifications, and comprehending intricate Java and .NET codebases—from APIs to databases—is essential. By integrating runtime and binary analysis, a comprehensive graph of the application architecture can be constructed. Gaining insight into the potential effects of code alterations prior to deployment enables precise project scope estimation. Additionally, integrated development environments (IDEs) can assist in uncovering unrecognized software references across multiple projects and applications. However, many tools, including IDEs, typically only disclose dependencies relevant to a single project. In contrast, CodeLogic reveals concealed dependencies that exist between applications and their databases. Our methodology stands apart as we merge binary scanning with runtime profiling, forming a searchable, real-time record system for both database dependencies and code. This intelligence equips application development teams with the ability to evaluate the consequences of schema and code changes ahead of their implementation in a production environment, ultimately leading to more informed decision-making. The ability to visualize these relationships not only enhances understanding but also streamlines the development process significantly.
