Build Azure Ready apps

CAST Highlight uses predictive patterns analysis developed by scanning thousands of applications and billions of lines of code. By looking at the frequency of issues and potential impacts found in source code, you can review if an app is ready to move to the cloud.

Cloud Readiness is a composite index that takes into account key factors like:

Blockers or code patterns in applications that slow down migration,
Boosters or applications that are best candidates
Business drivers, technical enablers and process maturity contributing to your Cloud Readiness

Effortless On-boarding

Thanks to a distributed workflow, adding a new application in Highlight takes minutes only: scan code locally, answer a short web-based survey, your application is instantly available in Highlight.

Local Code Scan

We care about data privacy. At any moment, your source code doesn’t leave your infrastructure. Scan your application locally with our Highlight Agent, then upload metrics. See how it works

Scan 35+ Technologies

Highlight scans major technologies. 35+ programming languages are supported: Java, Javascript, Python, JSP, COBOL, SAP/Abap, C/C++, C#, PHP, Visual Basic, T-SQL, PL/SQL, Shell…

Custom Indicators

Create your own indicators and consolidate new analytics based on answered surveys – perfect for use cases like containerization readiness, customer satisfaction, Agile efficiency, etc.

Application Tags

create and attach tags to an application or a set of applications in bulk. For instance, you can now combine metrics to identify the best candidates for IaaS or PaaS and activate these tags as filters on all dashboards.

Flexible Keyword Scanner

Configure your own patterns to search specific content or combination of content during your code scan that meet your search criteria. This feature is especially useful in GDPR, security or copyright contexts.

CI/CD Ready

Highlight integrates within CI/CD pipelines through a configurable command line, in order to get fresh analytics after each sprint or release, or even nightly build? It only takes minutes! See how

Public REST API
