"A Quick Snapshot of the Applications"
5/5
What do you like best about CAST Highlight?

In CAST Highlight i like the Scores which are displayed on the home page like it depicts the overall Software Health,Cloud Maturity, Open source Risk Control and the best part of CAST Highlight is the Green Impact of the Applications which are there in the user account.The Application user can easily track the Voilations and roadblocks in thier code to improve the software health core, it would be very useful to user to track them and aslo we can also check robustness and elegance and software egligity of an particular application or with all applications too.One more best Feature i liked in CAST Highlight was the Technical Debt it shows how many person perday is required to improve the score of an application , so it is the best option for the application owner to save their time and increase the score and quality of the code. "THE CAST HIGHLIGHT TOOL IS THE CONTROL TOWER OF THE ALL APPLICATIONS." Cast Highlight also provides the CAST Highlight code reader so that we can run the code scan locally in our machine and also very good custommer support . I am using this CAST higlight frequently in work to find score of Application.It is a usery friendly interface, it is easy to use and implement.Cast Highlight is very useful tool which works very well in all comapatable machines and also making it easy to analyze abd understandthe Software Scores of an application.It also provide CLI Version of CAST Highlight so that we can run the codelocally in our machine.
