Undraleu^® – Code Review Tool

Undraleu^® is an enterprise class code review tool that can perform reviews of Informatica PowerCenter code. It comes with a library of best practices to choose from to check the code conformance against. The tool addresses role specific review requirements e.g. Project Manager, Developer, Business stakeholder and any others who have an interest in the quality of the code. It is easy to use; the user logs in, selects the code to be reviewed, then selects the best practices that the code is expected to conform to and runs conformance checks and receives a review report. This process takes minutes, saving huge amount of time while facilitating a consistent and comprehensive coverage of code review. The standards to be conformed to, can be defined at a project level by the technical lead or subject matter expert at the beginning of the project. For companies that require stricter control on code quality, some standards can be defined at the company level which will be inherited by all the projects. This provides a unique path towards consistent standards across the company thereby accelerating and facilitating governance over ETL systems.
