CAST launches integrated marketplace to enhance CAST Highlight capabilities
09 Mayo 2024 - 8:00AM
CAST, the global leader in software intelligence, today is
announcing the introduction of the CAST Highlight Extensions
Marketplace—a seamlessly integrated marketplace for the software
intelligence product where users can effortlessly browse and
download a diverse range of extensions and plugins.
With these add-ons, users can significantly augment the
capabilities of the software intelligence product and gain even
more rapid and specific insights across an application portfolio.
This adds a greater degree of configurability so IT leaders can
personalize its ‘control tower’ capabilities, arming them with more
hard facts to steer and report on strategic imperatives like cloud,
technical debt, compliance, costs, and sustainability.
Users can take advantage of various categories of
extensions:
- Third-Party
Plugins: Users can now connect CAST Highlight data and
functions to popular third-party products like Azure DevOps,
GitHub, Jira, BitBucket, and VS Code
- Custom
Indicators: Users can create a custom metric in their CAST
Highlight instance with one click
- Keyword
Configurations: Users can configure the keyword analyzer
in CAST Highlight to detect and report on custom elements like the
Java version in use
- Segmentation
Configurations: Enable users to build their own Portfolio
Advisor dashboards to augment the standard offerings like the
Portfolio Advisor for Cloud or the Portfolio Advisor for Open
Source
The suite of capabilities is flexible enough that users can
search and filter available extensions to find the tools that best
meet their needs. Currently, all extensions available in the
Marketplace are developed and published by CAST, but plans are
underway to continuously expand the range of available extensions,
ensuring that it remains a vital resource for users looking to
enhance their application portfolio governance and software
observability.
“This new marketplace represents the next step in our vision to
offer software intelligence solutions that are not only powerful
but also adaptable to the specific needs of our users,” said Vice
President of CAST Highlight Greg Rivera. “With the ease of
integration of these new capabilities, we aim to make it as easy as
possible for clients to maximize their investment in CAST
Highlight.”
Hot on the heels of its number one rating on G2 for software
bill of materials (SBOM) management, the release also introduces
compatibility with CycloneDX 1.5 SBOM format, further enhancing
software component management and reinforcing security and
compliance measures. This aligns with industry best practices for
software bill of materials (SBOM) management, deepening CAST’s
proactive commitment to this important area of software security
and compliance.
