Description

CAST Highlight is a rapid software intelligence platform that delivers portfolio-level insights in minutes, helping organizations understand the true condition and modernization readiness of their applications. It evaluates every codebase for technical debt, fragility, resiliency gaps, cloud blockers, open-source vulnerabilities, and IP risk using automated code scanning and industry benchmarks. The platform distinguishes between structural issues that require remediation and low-impact debt that can be safely tolerated, enabling smarter investment decisions. CAST Highlight automatically identifies ideal migration paths to cloud-native services, complete with estimated effort and blockers to address. It also evaluates software sustainability by tracing code inefficiencies and estimating related CO₂ impact, allowing teams to prioritize greener development choices. Security, compliance, and third-party component risks are surfaced within minutes, not months. With clear dashboards and board-ready reporting, executives can instantly quantify progress, validate architectures, and track transformation KPIs. CAST Highlight empowers enterprises to modernize faster, cut risk, and strategically steer their software portfolios with evidence—not assumptions.

Description

Understand serves as an all-encompassing platform for static analysis and code comprehension, enabling software developers to visualize and grasp the intricacies of extensive and complex codebases, regardless of whether they are legacy systems, safety-critical applications, or modern multi-language initiatives. By parsing the source code, it creates a thorough “code dictionary” that catalogs every entity—such as files, classes, functions, and variables—while generating vital cross-references, call trees, dependency graphs, and control-flow diagrams. With its interactive and customizable visual tools, including call graphs, control flow graphs, and UML-style class diagrams, users can delve into the relationships between different code components, identify dependencies among modules, and anticipate the potential impact of changes throughout the project. Furthermore, Understand provides a comprehensive analysis of various metrics at multiple levels—file, class, and function—like cyclomatic complexity, total lines of code, comment-to-code ratios, and coupling/cohesion, which serve as essential indicators of maintainability; these metrics can be easily visualized in treemaps and exported in HTML or CSV formats. This multifaceted approach not only enhances code comprehension but also aids in improving overall software quality and maintainability.
