Viewing Executive Reports

Executive Reports offer HTML views of application inventories that a manager can use to assess the risks and costs of supporting the application:

The Application Summary view gives statistics for industry-standard metrics such as program volume, maintainability, cyclomatic complexity, and number of defects.
The Potential Code Anomalies view gives statistics for potential code anomalies that may mark programs as candidates for re-engineering: GOTO non-exits, range overlaps, and the like. You can customize potential code anomalies using the Define Anomalies feature. To configure the report to display potential code anomalies:
1. Click Options > Project Options.
  This opens the Options - Project properties dialog box.
2. Click the Reports > Executive Report tabs.
3. Check Code Defects.
Note: You must check Detect Potential Code Anomalies in the Options - Workspace dialog box. On the Verification > Settings tab to generate these statistics.
The Repository Statistics view gives statistics for Enterprise Analyzer verification results and unresolved or unreferenced application elements.
The Standard Deviations view displays graphs that plot the deviation of the programs in the application from the means for six key industry-standard metrics.

To generate an Executive Report,

Click Options > Project Options.
This opens the Options - Project properties dialog box.
Click the Reports > Executive Report tabs.
Check the functionality and attributes that you want to include in the report.

The report is stored in \<Workspace Home>\Output\Executive Report\Project\index.htm.

The top page in each view displays the available statistics and graphs. Click the links to view the detail for each type of statistic or graph. In the statistic or graph detail page, click the link for a program to view the detail for that program.

Note: After generating an Executive Report, use the Executive Report category in the Interactive Analysis Code Search tool to view potential code anomalies in program context.
