Software AG, a global provider in business infrastructure software, recently expanded the webMethods Application Modernization Suite with the introduction of the Discovery Edition.  Based on Software AG’s global reseller agreement with Relativity Technologies, the Discovery Edition can be used to document and analyze existing code bases including Cobol, PL/I, RPG, Visual Basic, C/C++ and Java in order to eliminate software deficiencies, optimize application performance and enable subsequent reuse of existing code. Key features of the Discovery Edition include code analytics and visualization, code refactoring, business rules identification and extraction and a collaborative knowledgebase for managing software artifacts.
     
“While application modernization can deliver very significant ROI, the perceived risk associated with disrupting often decades-old code limits adoption,” said Joe Gentry, Software AG’s CTO for Enterprise Transaction Systems.  “The Discovery Edition helps to eliminate these concerns by providing developers with the knowledge and insight required to proceed confidently with application modernizations projects.”
