About

Sider Scan is a lightning-fast duplicate code detection tool for software developers that finds and continuously monitors problems with code duplication. GitLab CI/CD, GitHubActions, Jenkins & CircleCI® integration. Installation using a Docker image. Easy team sharing of the analysis details. Continuous and fast analysis that runs in the background. Dedicated product support via email and phone. Sider Scan enhances long-term code quality and maintenance processes with in-depth duplicate code analysis. It's designed to complement other analysis tools, helping teams to produce cleaner code, and supporting continuous delivery. Sider finds duplicate blocks of code in your project and groups them. For each pair of duplicates, a diff library is created and pattern analyses are initiated to determine if there are any problems. This is referred to as the 'pattern' method of analysis. Time-series analysis is only possible when the scan is consistently run at regular intervals.

About

eXplain is a specialized code-analysis and legacy-system evaluation tool from PKS Software GmbH, designed to deeply analyze, map, document, and assess legacy applications, especially on mainframe platforms such as IBM i (AS/400) and IBM Z, so organizations can understand what lives in their software, how it’s structured, and what parts are worth keeping, refactoring or retiring. It imports existing source code into an independent “eXplain server”, no need to install anything on the host system, then uses advanced parsers to examine languages like COBOL, PL/I, Assembler, Natural, RPG, JCL, and others, along with data about databases (Db2, Adabas, IMS), job-schedulers, transaction monitors, and more. eXplain builds a central repository that becomes a knowledge hub; from there, it generates cross-language dependency graphs, data-flow maps, interface analyses, clusterings of related modules, and detailed object-and-resource usage reports.
