Application Portfolio Management (APM)

The APM feature of becubic enables you to define APM Applications (groups of programs) and obtain information about source code volume and/or complexity for each of them. In addition to this standard metrics information, you can define custom metrics by using numeric attribute values from any types of repository objects.

To obtain metrics information (for example, cyclomatic complexity or software science volume), you must implement CAE Provider for Metrics as part of your analysis process. See the topic Metrics in CAE Online Documentation for details.

You must define the contents of an APM Application. To do so, ASG recommends that you create a query that retrieves only the objects that you want to be part of this APM Application. See the topic Editing Query Definitions for information about defining a query.

Assuming that you have completed the analysis process and defined the required query, this is the sequence of tasks that you need to perform to obtain APM information:

Create an APM Application — See the topic Creating an APM Application for more details.
Define the APM Application attributes (for example, abbreviation or category) — See the topic APM Application Definition for more details.
Calculate or define the APM Application contents — See the topic Calculating Application Contents for more details.
Calculate the APM Application metrics — See the topic Calculating Application Metrics for more details.
Retrieve or export the APM Application information in the format you want.
