F2NDiagnostics - Automated Forte to .NET Diagnostics

F2NDiagnostics is Agile IT Partners' automated Forte to .NET migration diagnostics tool. F2NDiagnostics is used to analyze Forte code and create application inventory. The application inventory is used during the assessment phase to gather more information on the size, complexity and interactions in the Forte application. F2NDiagnostics generates metrics that are valuable inputs in the migration planning process. F2NDiagnostics also red-flags potential problems that might occur in the Forte to .NET migration process.

Features

The key features of F2NDiagnostics are:

• Compiles a complete inventory of a Forte application.
• Stores inventory in a database thus allowing ad hoc queries to be run.
• Ability to mine information from the inventory.
• Generates metrics on the Forte application.
• List dependencies and interactions between components.
• Red-flag potential problem areas that might occur during migration.
• Ability to identify problem code patterns like SQL in window classes.
• List touch-points between client and server components.
• Generates standard and custom reports.
• Easily customizable to client needs.
• Easy to use GUI and batch interface.

Benefits

The benefits of using F2NDiagnostics in the migration process are:

• Accurate metrics helps in better estimating the migration process.
• Detailed inventory helps in developing a migration project plan.
• Upfront identification of critical areas helps in risk mitigation.
• Ad hoc queries helps answer "what if" questions.
• Helps speed up the assessment and migration process.
