Module Selection Guidance

  • RPG code highlighting for module extraction, aiding developer in selecting web service candidates.

  • Automatic identification of ”entangled code” to ensure the consistency of the extracted modules.

  • Variables are transformated into parameters to simplify tightly-coupled code.

  • The developer is notified of any anomalies and assisted in adding any additional code that needs to be included.

  • Extraction of newly formed module. A new procedure is automatically generated based on selected lines.

  • Replacement of the previous block of code with a call to the new procedure.

  • Any duplicate functionality is automatically identified and refactored into a single reusable procedure, improving code quality and avoiding repeat maintenance.
