Re: "In addition, Wells Fargo audited approximately 3.7 million lines of previously remediated code using MatriDigm's newest product, MatriDigm Analysis of Renovated Code 2000 (MARC2000(SM)), which confirms the effectiveness of completed COBOL code renovations." Hmmmm .. a new product, eh? I wonder how this one does its thing. Their previous tool (MAP2000) has a testing capability that compares the pre-remediated code's output to the remediated code's output. That wouldn't seem to play a role here because the pre-remediated code isn't available. Testing against post-remediated code seems worthless. What would they have to compare it to? So, what does MARC2000 do? What does "confirm the effectiveness" mean? An interesting development, for sure. It appears that MatriDigm is trying to cash in on the failed remediation attempts by other vendors and failed in-house remediation projects. A very interesting marketing ploy. TED
