Code analysis with eXplain The digital mastermind for business-critical legacy applications.
eXplain by PKS is a powerful code analysis and modernization tool designed for legacy applications written in COBOL, RPG, Natural, and other procedural languages. Integrated into Eclipse, it offers automated, cross-language code analysis, visualization, and documentation to help developers understand complex, undocumented systems. eXplain includes advanced features like clustering to reorganize legacy codebases, QA dashboards for monitoring code quality, and custom rule sets to ensure maintainability. It supports transformation efforts by enabling transparency, control, and quality in legacy environments—crucial as experienced developers retire and technical debt grows.
