What is CAST Imaging?
A short overview of CAST Imaging and what it does.
CAST Imaging is a browser-based tool that turns application source code into an interactive graph. You can explore the structure of any enterprise application without reading code line by line.
What problem does it solve?
Large applications can contain millions of lines of code spread across many technologies. Understanding how the parts connect — and what breaks when you change something — is very difficult without a visual map.
CAST Imaging reads the output of a static code analysis and displays the results as a navigable graph. You can zoom in from a high-level architecture view all the way down to individual methods and database calls.
