IEEE, Onboarding in Software Teams, 202, Performance of Newcomers, 2019
Turnover is IT’s biggest drag on productivity, and even expert teammates struggle to learn applications with thin documentation. Coming aboard, their knowledge gaps quickly tax the time of the most knowledgeable workers as they’re interrupted with questions and are pulled into discovery meetings.
Using CAST, developers and architects log in to a 3D map that reveals applications from the inside. Entering a single application, they see every element, relationship, dependency, and transaction flow across architectural layers. From abstracted services to objects, every code element, framework, and API is visible and contextualized. With this intelligence in hand, CAST cuts weeks of effort to hours, enabling colleagues to understand applications on their own down to a single line of code.

See the whole and the parts. Find objects and dependencies across technologies, filtering by name, technology, type, tags, and notes.
See the effects of a single component change to the entire application.
Starting from the UI, see transaction flows through every level down to the database.
Use in concert with your GenAI to understand what code elements do within context and understand algorithms inside objects.
Use CAST as a living knowledge base, with peer-created tags, notes, documents, and custom views presented alongside the right information.
Identify the types of dependencies between every application and zoom out to understand the big picture.
