Iago Sparrow (v3)

Hi there!

We have been intensively working on Blu Insights 3 and it is now available! It brings multiple new features and improvements as depicted below.

New features

• Time Tracker to see at a glance time spent by your team on each task.
• Library / Training to learn more about the modernization process, Blu Age technologies, and tools – all centralized in one place.
• System Utilities to see at a glance what are the known/supported System Utilities among more than 1000 so far (Mainframe, OpenVMS, AS400, PowerBuilder…).
• Shared Spaces to securely share source code, documents, and more with your colleagues and customers.
• Versions Manager to compare codebase artifacts and detect added, removed, and modified files.
• TN5250 for iSeries screen test cases capture & replay.
• New Home to better organize the new services and get everything on a dedicated space.

Improvements

• Estimates & Pipelines:
  • Multiple UX&UI enhancements.
  • More options are proposed to customize the pipelines.
• Workspace – it is now possible to edit the properties of search results (e.g. look for files containing a specific code pattern and apply to them a label or add them to a package).
• Cyclomatic Complexity – better support for RPG Free form.
• Dependencies: 
  • Mainframe option handles Assembly (inter-programs calls) and SQL (Alter tables).
  • Multiple improvements (performance, pattern detection, etc.) for all supported languages.
  • Multiple RPG Free statements support.
  • OpenVMS RUN statement added.
  • Missing and System added for Java and .Net
• Website & documentation updated – https://bluinsights.aws/

What’s next?

• Your feedback & inquiries.
• Connect System Utilities to the dependencies analysis.
• Create Codebase projects from Shared Spaces uploads.
• Propose details about the modified lines of code in Versions Manager.
• A bunch of improvements (UX, Performance, etc.).

Thank you to Emma, Afaf, Charlie, Abdelilah, Loïk, Houssam, Vincent, Khadija, Paul, Yassine, Nicolas, El Mahfoud, Quentin & Léo, builders of this new BluInsights.
