The aim of the code impact analysis is to define the (side) effects of the changes made on the examined information system. The amount of the impact of changes is to be defined as it affects the further development and debugging costs and the reliability of the system.
The enterprise software maintenance costs are covered at least by 50%, in some cases by 90% by the upgrade and maintenance costs. All solutions, which partly or fully automates the change impact analysis facilitates the cost-effectiveness of the software development process as the price of maintenance and software bugs are the most important factors.
The CodeRipple toolset developed by FrontEndART is:
- able to perform static (software source code), dynamic (run logs, traces), and hybrid (combining the above ones) software analysis, and to explore impact sets
- able to analyse the most popular programming languages (C/C++, Java)
- available as platform independent command line tools, embedded to IDE (Eclipse), and integrated to the SourceInventory quality monitoring system
- built up as a framework system. Due to it's expandability it is able to cooperate with various other systems and is able to serve individual needs
