A CAST Case Study
Tech Mahindra faced a challenge when working on a complex COBOL/DB2 legacy application for a major automotive manufacturer. The team lacked documentation and understanding of the black-box system, struggling to meet maintenance SLAs and implement changes. They turned to CAST, utilizing CAST Imaging, to address this.
The solution involved deploying CAST Imaging on-premises to reverse-engineer the application through semantic analysis. This provided clear transaction flows and data call graphs. Using CAST Gatekeeper, the team also identified and prioritized structural flaws per ISO 5055. The results included a 25% reduction in investigation time and a 10% decrease in structural flaws, boosting productivity and application health.
