CAST Imaging acts as a living knowledge base of your software inner workings

CAST Imaging ‘understands’ how custom-built applications work. It reverse-engineers all database structures, code components, and interdependencies in complex software systems, down to the tiniest details. It creates actual, accurate, interactive blueprints of applications inner-working helping developers find the answers they need in minutes instead of days.

Benefits

Always accessible technical knowledge
Much faster discovery of internal architecture
20-35% faster onboarding of newcomers
Making changes with confidence
Less disruption for experts and tech leaders

With CAST Imaging newcomers can quickly learn and confidently make changes

Learn the application make-up. In hours, instead of weeks.

Quickly understand the technology stack, application layers, and dependencies with 5 levels of granularity - from abstracted services to object level granularity.

Understand end-to-end flows. In hours, instead of weeks.

Quickly view the entire flow of a transaction in the application. Starting from UI, traversing through several intermediate layers and ending in the database.

See the impact of their changes. Without relaying on experts.

Visualize the effects of single component change on the entire application allowing for a safe and confident change.

Get guidance and explanations. On their own.

See tags, notes, documents, custom views provided by peers for explanation and guidance, right into the relevant context.

Zoom-in & out all elements, down to the line of code. On their own.

See instantly every code element, its relationships to other elements, and its dependencies on frameworks, APIs, and databases.

Understand algorithms inside objects. In minutes, instead of days.

CAST Imaging with ChatGPT explains what a particular code element does within the overall application context.

Search for objects and dependencies across technologies. In one place.

Easily find objects with multiple filters on name, technology, type, tags, or notes, and get a comprehensive view of the result as part of the bigger picture.
