CAST SQG (Software Quality Guard) is a powerful software analysis tool that aims to revolutionize the way organizations manage and improve their software quality. By leveraging CAST's deep expertise in semantic software analysis, SQG provides a comprehensive mapping of code elements, data structures, and dependencies within complex, multi-tier applications that use various technologies. The tool's primary focus is on identifying and eliminating technical debt, which often accumulates over time and can significantly impact software performance and maintainability. SQG operates on the principle that a small portion of code (approximately 8%) is responsible for the majority (90%) of technical debt. By pinpointing these critical areas, SQG enables development teams to prioritize their efforts and achieve maximum impact with minimal resource investment. This targeted approach to software quality improvement sets CAST SQG apart from other tools in the market.
