Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We POC'd the product for IBM watsonx Code Assistant Portfolio for Z. The use is for Mainframe understanding and modernization. This was to understand how our mainframe components interact and how we can understand what the dependencies are within our different applications. It also provided visual representations that can document what is happening across our pieces. The last IBM watsonx Code Assistant Portfolio piece was done in VSCode to Transform code.

Pros

ADDI - Static Analysis
Query-able Data
Good integration with IDE (VSCode)

Cons

The other UIs of the different phases (Refactor and Transform)
The usability of the tool and how it can hook into our existing systems.

Return on Investment

Time Savings from Understanding
Broader understanding
Impact to non technical users.
