Using the Module Assistant

Overview

The Module Assistant will generate an automated functional breakdown of your application(s) based on the application code’s wording, sentences and topics identified and correlated to the adherence of elements between them. Several factors can affect the outcomes and keep in mind that for some applications, the results may not be perfect, especially if the source code lacks understandable wording.

How does it work?

Technically, the Module Assistant will create a custom aggregation (called Automated Functional Modules) for each targeted application. This custom aggregation is generated based on keywords found in your target application: related keywords will be grouped together as modules, and links will be created between the modules based on the underlying objects within the modules. This custom aggregation can be selected by any user in the Perspective > Aggregated by section of the left-panel for each targeted application.

This feature is “static”, in other words, if you re-analyze your application and the source code has changed then you will need to manually re-generate the Module Assistant results so that they reflect the most recent analysis.
