Xpediter Extended Play
Compuware Xpediter Extended Play is a comprehensive set of developer productivity tools that reduces the time needed to get programs implemented or returned to production by automating the analysis, testing and debugging processes. Xpediter EP alleviates the pain of the retiring mainframe workforce by helping the next generation of mainframe programmers understand existing mainframe applications, examine the code both statically and in execution, and validate their testing efficiency. All in all, time, expense, and risk are reduced.
Value
Compuware Xpediter Extended Play offers a number of benefits including:
- an intuitive understanding of application functionality.
- maintainability metrics and high risk code identification.
- comprehensive intra/inter application impact analysis that identifies specific change points when considering enhancements or corrections to business processes and data flows.
- advanced program intercept capabilities that trap, for debug, most COBOL, PL/I, C Language or HLASM applications, regardless of how or where it was initiated, or where it is running.
- choice of classic 3270 interface or new Eclipse GUI for test and debug session operation.
- detailed and summary reports of code execution that provide a quick assessment of test related risk along with comprehensive documentation of testing efforts.
The Compuware Difference
- The Xpediter Extended Play is another integrated component that uses the CSS (Compuware Shared Services) framework that serves the Xpediter, Abend-AID, and Strobe product lines. One compile into a common repository keeps administration simple from development, through testing, and into production.
- Integration with the Hiperstation Extended Play provides the industry leading solution for online application testing. The high level of automation delivered reduces costs and risks substantially.
- Runtime identification of specific code related to business functions assists in modernization and SOA initiatives.
- Customizable code coverage statistics aggregation, exclusion, and weighting allows users to focus on the metrics most important to them
