| Tools For Business Analysts |
StereoLOGIC
|

|
StereoLOGIC is part of a new class of automated process discovery tools. Analysts use StereoLOGIC Discovery TM to capture the business process logic of applications using an automated or semi-automated process. The tool monitors a user interaction with an application and: harvests the screen interface, captures data attributes being presented to users, and presenting this information in clear process flow diagrams which can be validated by users. When StereoLOGIC is deployed to monitor large numbers of users interacting with an application, the system can fully automate the discovery of the current-state processes and variations, intelligently ask users questions about their interaction with the system, present analysts with details on the paths users take through an application, and the amount of time users typically spend on each transaction type. StereoLOGIC is currently available for use in monitoring mainframe-class (3270) systems .
IAG has available a fully functional version of StereoLOGIC's process modeler for semi-automated documentation generation.
