Continuing where I left off in my earlier post about the enhancements made in 2019, we have some more interesting updates to share. We recently announced the release of CAST AIP 1.12 Dashboard package with some pretty cool and exciting features that we hope, will help our customers get more visibility into their complex systems. We understand, the Dashboards are critical components for your Software Intelligence consumption, and we strive hard to make it valuable and useful in each release.
As a Dashboard user, here are a few things that you will find exciting about CAST AIP Dashboard package release 1.12:
The Transaction level Investigation page in the Engineering Dashboard has been completely revamped with the view for users to select a particular transaction and explore the violated software quality rules and violating objects. Users can now focus on a specific transaction for a business driver and explore the violations that are impacting the transactions for an applicable business driver.

The Transaction level Investigation page in the Engineering Dashboard also provides the ability for users to explore the impacted objects (with violations) participating in a particular transaction for a specific business driver. Users also can drill-down further to explore the object characteristics and corresponding software quality violations for the object.

On Application Investigation view, users now can see all the impacted transactions for a given object. Specifically, users can select an object level view and see all the transactions the object is participating in and understand how the object is adversely contributing to software quality health measures Robustness, Security, or Efficiency of the application.

Users now can explore the objects with the highest cyclomatic complexity change for the recent snapshot. The report is added in the Miscellaneous Report section, enabling users to explore the objects with most cyclomatic complexity increase and decrease in the recent snapshot.
Users also can drill-down to a specific object to explore more.

Introducing “AIP Datamart” (Beta) – a new way to expose, explore, and integrate AIP software quality data for management reporting, with the following notable features -

Threshold values/ Parameter details are now available for distribution metrics such as coupling, sizing, cyclomatic complexity etc. along with the software quality rules. For a given Distribution in each snapshot, the contributing Parameters are listed, together with the type of technology involved (Object Type Involved) and the number of objects (Parameter Value) classed in that parameter.

We have included the following new industry-standard compliance reports in the dashboards- NIST, PCI DSS, STIG, available to be downloaded directly from the Engineering Dashboard or Security Dashboard.

Users will now get a notification when the server cache reload is initiated in the background and is in progress. If users try to log in to the system during this period, the login process will be blocked with a notification for the users. If a user is browsing through the dashboard when cache reload is initiated, system will give them notification and request them to log back in again to see the latest snapshot data. Earlier, users often reported consistency issues during a cache reload.
If you an existing CAST AIP user, we have the new Dashboard package available for download here.
