Professional software developers know that every technical decision involves a tradeoff. And every day, software managers and executives must make trade-offs, too – time, effort, and results. But what is the risk?

On the path to building solid, reliable software, Reasoning customers believe you really need a milepost to know where you stand.

A “Whole-Body Scan” for your source code
Reasoning’s Discovery Mapping Analytics service (DMA) is like a “whole body scan” for your source code. Using static analysis technology and Reasoning’s expertise in identifying reliability and security defects, we benchmark the quality and risk level of your application and its components.

The result for you is action information to measure, then manage your development process.

Metrics: Know where your application stands today.
Reasoning’s Discovery Mapping Analytics service maps source code implementation errors that cause system crashes or security vulnerabilities. With this mapping, you can understand and visualize the risk profile for your application or outsourced project.

The DMA findings show your code characteristics across ten different categories. The type and impact of each category is illustrated. You receive an unbiased, third-party assessment of code reliability and vulnerability.

Benchmarks: Turn “risk avoidance” into “Risk Management”
Reasoning’s Discovery Mapping Analytics service is a unique addition to your management dashboard, providing quality benchmarks. Drawing on statistics from our database of thousands of Reasoning commercial inspections, the DMA findings show your code characteristics compared to hundreds of the world’s most capable development organizations. You gain predictability in assessing the exposures in your applications. You can actively manage identified risk instead of implementing blanket strategies against unknown reliability and vulnerability characteristics of your applications.

Priorities: Target resources on critical business objectives.
Reasoning’s Discovery Mapping Analytics service delivers actionable information to drive informed business decisions. In addition to overall profiles, Reasoning identifies the reliability and vulnerability characteristics of the key code groups in your application.

With this data, you can prioritize and target your development resources at the heart of code integrity problems, and enhance decision-making on software acceptance, software release, time-to-market issues, and deployment of tools, training and staff.

Just starting a new quality initiative?
An effective quality improvement program requires a clear starting point and the ability to assess and quantify the program’s impact. Whether your code base is mature or rapidly evolving, Reasoning’s DMA reports provide a quantitative, cost effective, third-party assessment for each application.

Ready to take action?
