Enterprises that want to modernize and extend their mission‑critical distributed COBOL applications
About Rocket COBOL Analyzer
Rocket® COBOL Analyzer is a static code analysis and application intelligence tool designed to provide full visibility into COBOL applications, regardless of their scale or complexity. It enables developers to analyze, visualize, and plan code changes with confidence by delivering continuous code analysis directly within their development environment, allowing them to evaluate the impact of modifications before and after implementation. It offers interactive visualizations that map application structures, dependencies, and relationships, giving stakeholders a clear and current understanding of how systems evolve over time. It includes customizable code search capabilities and reporting frameworks that allow teams to quickly locate relevant logic, generate insights, and maintain control over large and complex codebases.

SMART TS XL
SMART TS XL is an enterprise-grade application discovery and “software intelligence” platform that enables organizations to search, analyze, and visualize dependencies across all their codebases, regardless of platform or language. It ingests source code, database schemas, configuration files, documentation, ticketing logs, JCL, and other assets, from legacy mainframes (COBOL, JCL, PL/I, AS/400, etc.) to modern distributed environments (Java, .NET, Python, JavaScript, C++, databases, scripts, text files), and catalogs everything into a centralized, searchable repository. With patented indexing technology, SMART TS XL can process millions or even billions of lines of code and return results in seconds, allowing users to instantly locate where particular fields, error messages, modules, or logic are used enterprise-wide. It generates interactive visualizations like control-flow diagrams, cross-reference graphs, and impact-analysis maps.
