"Maintenance is more about analysis than coding." **

** Research studies have shown that maintenance programmers spend 40-60% of their time trying understand the programs they maintain.

Maintain programs faster
Make fewer mistakes
Tackle monster programs with more confidence
*Quickly grasp unfamiliar programs*

If you or your team maintain legacy RPG code you will be interested in what Codelyzer can do for you:

quickly grasp large, complex programs you are unfamiliar with
drill down into programs quickly and reliably to find what you need to change
analyze the impact of your changes
navigate quickly through programs, relieving the mental overhead of constantly getting to where you want to go and remembering where you were
develop a trackable process around project planning, impact analysis and project estimation

Codelyzer directly improves what RPG maintenance programmers actually do:

Try to understand the input, output and structure of large, complex programs they have no special knowledge of
Find all the statements in a program that relate to the planned change or problem
Analyze the possible impacts of the changes to be made
Make sure everything has been thought through and covered so there are no surprises

Being a maintenance programmer for legacy systems is a stressful job that carries a high risk of making mistakes. Programmers sometimes compensate by spending excessive time in analysis or testing. And sometimes, of course, mistakes and oversights find their way into production.

Codelyzer dramatically improves a developer's ability to complete work faster and lower the risk of mistakes.

Managers will be interested in using Codelyzer to make process improvements to their maintenance operations in areas such as:

Program change specification and review
Impact analysis
Production support
Project estimation
Business rule extraction

Managers will also be interested in Codelyzer's ability to help developers who are not experienced with your complex programs to support them more quickly and reliably.

Make no mistake, “Maintenance is more about analysis than coding.”
