Kuscos
Whether you are wanting to know what was added to that legacy Cobol system back in the 90s, or looking for advanced techniques to better manage your ongoing C# development project, Kuscos is the software intelligence platform of choice. For development teams, managers and executives, Kuscos delivers key information regarding source code modules and team members, from design documentation to dependencies, duplicate code and quality rule violations. Kuscos also provides oversight of team activities, from repository commits to issues resolved. Better still, the same platform does this across more than 16 legacy and modern software languages. As we pointed out in our earlier post, and according to the Standish Group, over the past 5 years only 29% of software projects could be described as successful (meeting time, budget and functionality goals). Improvements over time have been minimal despite increases in code development efficiencies and design processes

SonarQube Cloud
Maximize your throughput and only release clean code SonarQube Cloud (formerly SonarCloud) automatically analyzes branches and decorates pull requests. Catch tricky bugs to prevent undefined behavior from impacting end-users. Fix vulnerabilities that compromise your app, and learn AppSec along the way with Security Hotspots. With just a few clicks you're up and running right where your code lives. Immediate access to the latest features and enhancements. Project dashboards keep teams and stakeholders informed on code quality and releasability. Display project badges and show your communities you're all about awesome. Code Quality and Code Security is a concern for your entire stack, from front-end to back-end. That’s why we cover 24 languages including Python, Java, C++, and many others. Transparency makes sense and that's why the trend is growing. Come join the fun, it's entirely free for open-source projects!

Understand
Understand is a comprehensive static-analysis and code-comprehension platform that helps software engineers “see” and understand large, complex code bases, whether legacy, safety-critical, or modern multi-language projects. It parses your source code and builds a complete “code dictionary” of every entity (files, classes, functions, variables), populating cross-references, call trees, dependency graphs, control-flow diagrams, and more. Through interactive, customizable graphs and visualizations, call graphs, control flow graphs, dependency trees, and UML-style class diagrams, you can explore exactly how parts of the code connect, which modules depend on which, and where changes may ripple across the project. Understand also computes detailed metrics at various levels (file, class, function) such as cyclomatic complexity, lines of code, comment-to-code ratio, coupling/cohesion, and other maintainability indicators; these metrics can be viewed in treemaps, exported to HTML or CSV.

eXplain
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.
