PJX Analzyer

Turn the “Black Box” of legacy code into a data-driven modernization roadmap. The Project (PJX) Analyzer is CODE’s proprietary technical utility designed to deconstruct Visual FoxPro applications into actionable metrics. By examining PJX and associated files, this tool provides the foundational statistics—including size, complexity, and dependency mappings—required to move from a vague estimation to a concrete architectural plan.

Quantifying Your Legacy Debt: The PJX Analyzer

The greatest obstacle to modernization is the unknown. Before a single line of new code is written, you need to understand the true scale of your existing Visual FoxPro ecosystem. The PJX Analyzer is a specialized utility that removes the guesswork by providing a comprehensive audit of your application’s internal structure.

How it Works: Deep-File Inspection

By analyzing your VFP project files (.PJX) and their associated dependencies, the tool delivers a concise graphical interface and detailed reports on your application's architecture. This analysis provides the critical metrics needed to judge effort levels and project feasibility for any modernization target.

Key Insights & Analytic Subsystems

The analyzer utilizes eleven distinct analytic subsystems to generate a high-fidelity profile of your software, including:

  • Code Complexity Metrics: Identifying high-risk areas and deeply nested logic that require special attention during transition.
  • Object & Class Hierarchy: Mapping your visual and non-visual classes to determine how they will translate into a modern object-oriented structure.
  • Database Dependencies: Analyzing DBF usage and data-access patterns to plan your migration to modern relational databases or the Cloud.
  • Scale Statistics: Providing hard numbers on file counts, lines of code, and form density to build an accurate project forecast.

The First Step in Our Proven Process

The PJX Analyzer isn't just a reporting tool; it is the entry point for a successful digital transformation. We use the data gathered here to feed directly into our subsequent phases:

  1. Analyze: Use the free PJX Analyzer to determine application size and complexity.
  2. Plan: Conduct a Vision and Scope Workshop using the analyzer’s metrics to provide a project forecast with Low-end and High-end estimates.
  3. Execute: Follow the roadmap to convert your application using your own team or our expert staff.
