ARCAD

ARCAD is a comprehensive DevSecOps and IBM i modernization suite that unifies application lifecycle management across legacy and open systems. It streamlines build, test, release, and compliance processes while enabling teams to refactor, secure, and operate mission‑critical applications at scale. With automation, integrated quality gates, and deep IBM i expertise, ARCAD accelerates delivery cycles, reduces risk, and bridges traditional and cloud‑native development practices.

Features

• End‑to‑end DevSecOps toolchain covering build, test, release, and monitoring.
• Native IBM i support (RPG, COBOL, CL) with repository management and impact analysis.
• Static code analysis and security checks integrated into CI/CD pipelines.
• Automated database and code transformation for IBM i modernization.
• Release orchestration with environment promotion, approvals, and audit trails.
• Unit, regression, and automated functional testing tailored for IBM i artifacts.
• Data masking and subsetting options for safe testing with production‑like data.

Capabilities

• Cross‑platform pipeline integration with Git, issue trackers, and CI servers.
• Real‑time dependency and impact analysis to mitigate change risk.
• Policy‑driven quality gates for security, code coverage, and compliance.
• Blue/green and phased deployment strategies across hybrid and multi‑cloud.
• Automated refactoring from legacy syntax to modern free‑form code.
• Role‑based access control and full traceability from commit to production.
• Scalable multi‑team governance with reusable templates and pipelines.

Benefits

• Shorter release cycles through high automation and streamlined handoffs.
• Lower defect rates via embedded testing and security scanning.
• Reduced modernization effort by automating code and database transformations.
• Improved audit readiness with comprehensive traceability and controls.
• Greater developer productivity by unifying tools and standardizing workflows.
• Business agility from safely evolving legacy systems without disrupting operations.
• Cost savings by minimizing manual rework and accelerating time‑to‑value.
