ARCAD Observer Features

Software development teams spend at least 50% of their time trying to understand an application’s internal architecture before modifying it since these are old and have been modified many times by various developers. Sometimes changes have been made which are easy rather than good – creating a heavy “technical debt” that increases the cost of making further changes.

Download this datasheet to learn more about ARCAD Observer and discover how it combines powerful application navigation and diagramming with multi-platform Impact Analysis and documentation generation.

  • Powerful application-wide IBM i cross-referencing (from within the LPEX editor in RDi)

  • Accelerate code comprehension with an easy-to-use application navigator

  • Improve accuracy of project estimates/planning (greater agility as business priority changes)
