Audit for problems, complexity and changes
Module: X-Audit
X-Audit enables managers of legacy applications to measure, monitor and proactively manage the complexity of and changes to their applications:
- Understand where the most complex code in the system resides and plan accordingly.
- Audit the difference between versions of a system at a design level not just code.
- Be alerted to potentially harmful system conditions and defects before they cause production problems.
- Track changes in new versions of packaged applications to plan for refitting customizations.
- Compare versions of your custom applications at different points in time to track where changes were deployed.

X-Analysis Overview Diagram
X-Audit comprises several components with features designed to accelerate the management of complex legacy applications:
- Complexity metrics
- Shows traditional complexity metrics by program and subroutine such as Cyclomatic Complexity and Halstead Volume
- Shows As/400-specific RPG complexity metrics such as depth of IF/DO nesting, number of GOTOs, number of device files, etc
- Problem Alerts
- Reports on possibly harmful conditions such as missing source, source changed after object creation date, etc
- Difference Analysis
- Compares versions of your system at different points in time
- Identify changes to new release of packaged software in order to refit customizations you’ve made
- Can be used to track changes to your custom systems over time for audit or management purposes
- Linked Repositories
- Allows linking and analysis of multiple X-Analysis repositories across multiple systems, languages and platforms

Problem Alerts
- All objects analyzed for potential problem conditions including:
- Object with no source
- Source changed after object creation date
- Source with no objects
- Duplicate logical files
- Database files with no members
- and more
Difference Analysis
- Compare two or more versions of an application at different points in time to discover changes in
- Source code
