Abstract

A system for analyzing an impact of a software migration on a codebase includes a data management module to receive user-selected input of a codebase that supports international classification of diseases, ninth revision (ICD-9) codes and that contains a plurality of lines of source code and a plurality of codebase components, to receive user selection of at least one search string and to analyze the codebase using the at least one search string to identify at least one of each impacted line of the plurality of lines of source code in the codebase and each impacted codebase component, each impacted line of source code and each impacted codebase component requiring modification in order to support migration from ICD-9 codes to international classification of diseases, tenth revision (ICD-10) codes, and produce at least one report of a result of the analysis of the codebase.

Claims

1. A system for analyzing an impact of a software migration on a codebase, comprising:

a data management module to receive user-selected input of a codebase that supports international classification of diseases, ninth revision (ICD-9) codes and that contains a plurality of lines of source code and a plurality of codebase components, and to receive at least one search string,

a codebase analysis module to analyze the codebase using the at least one search string to identify at least one of each impacted line of the plurality of lines of source code in the codebase and each impacted codebase component, each impacted line of source code and each impacted codebase component requiring modification in order to support migration from ICD-9 codes to international classification of diseases, tenth revision (ICD-10) codes, and

a report module to produce at least one report of a result of the analysis of the codebase by the codebase analysis module.

2. The system of claim 1 further comprising a user interface module to produce at least one graphic user interface for receiving user input of the codebase and the at least one search string.

3. The system of claim 1 wherein the data management module to receive user-selected input of at least one excluded string,

and wherein the codebase analysis module to analyze the codebase by searching the codebase for matches with the at least one search string and excluding matches with the at least one excluded string.

4. The system of claim 1 wherein the data management module to receive user-selected input of an iteration count,

and wherein the codebase analysis module to analyze the codebase by searching the codebase for matches with the at least one search string a number of times specified by the iteration count.

5. The system of claim 1 wherein the codebase analysis module comprises an impact analysis sub-module to analyze the codebase using at least a first search string to identify each impacted line of the plurality of lines of source code in the codebase, and an inventory reconciliation sub-module to analyze the codebase using at least a second search string, different from the first search string, to identify each impacted codebase component.

6. The system of claim 5 wherein the impact analysis sub-module operates independently of the inventory reconciliation sub-module, and further comprising a user interface module to produce at least one graphic user interface for receiving user selection of operation of one or the other of the impact analysis sub-module and the inventory reconciliation module.

7. The system of claim 1 wherein the data management module to receive user-selected of an exact match requirement,

and wherein the codebase analysis module to analyze the codebase by searching the codebase for exact matches with the at least one search string.

8. The system of claim 7 wherein the codebase analysis to analyze the codebase by searching the codebase for inexact matches with the at least one search string in the absence of user selection of the exact match requirement.

9. The system of claim 1 further comprising a user interface module to produce at least one graphic user interface for receiving user selection to export the at least one report in a selected report file format,

and wherein the report module to export the at least one report to a report file having the selected report file format.

10. A method for analyzing an impact of a software migration on a codebase, comprising:

receiving user-selected input of a codebase that supports international classification of diseases, ninth revision (ICD-9) codes and that contains a plurality of lines of source code and a plurality of codebase components,

receiving user selection of at least one search string,

receiving user selection of an analysis initiation, and

in response to receipt of the analysis initiation, analyzing the codebase using the at least one search string to identify at least one of each impacted line of the plurality of lines of source code in the codebase and each impacted codebase component, each impacted line of source code and each impacted codebase component requiring modification in order to support migration from ICD-9 codes to international classification of diseases, tenth revision (ICD-10) codes, and

producing at least one report of a result of the analysis of the codebase.

11. The method of claim 10 wherein the at least one report includes a listing of each of the impacted lines of source code in the codebase.

12. The method of claim 10 wherein the at least one report include a listing of each of the plurality of impacted codebase components.

13. The method of claim 10 further comprising receiving user selection of an iteration count,

and wherein analyzing the codebase comprises searching the codebase for matches with the at least one search string a number of times specified by the iteration count.

14. The method of claim 10 further comprising receiving user selection of an exact match requirement,

and wherein analyzing the codebase comprises searching the codebase for exact matches with the at least one search string.

15. The method of claim 14 wherein analyzing the codebase comprises searching the codebase for inexact matches with the at least one search string in the absence of receiving the user selection of the exact match requirement.

16. The method of claim 10 further comprising receiving user selection of at least one excluded string,

and wherein analyzing the codebase comprises searching the codebase for matches with the at least one search string and excluding matches with the at least one excluded string.

17. A computer program product comprising non-transitory computer readable medium having instructions stored thereon which, when executed by at least one processor, cause the processor to:

receive user-selected input of a codebase that supports international classification of diseases, ninth revision (ICD-9) codes and that contains a plurality of lines of source code and a plurality of codebase components,

receive user selection of at least one search string,

receive user selection of an analysis initiation, and

in response to receipt of the analysis initiation, analyze the codebase using the at least one search string to identify at least one of each impacted line of the plurality of lines of source code in the codebase and each impacted codebase component, each impacted line of source code and each impacted codebase component requiring modification in order to support migration from ICD-9 codes to international classification of diseases, tenth revision (ICD-10) codes, and

produce at least one report of a result of the analysis of the codebase.

18. The computer program product of claim 17 wherein the instructions stored on the computer readable medium further include instructions which, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the processor to:

receive user selection of an iteration count, and

analyze the codebase by searching the codebase for matches with the at least one search string a number of times specified by the iteration count.

19. The computer program product of claim 17 wherein the instructions stored on the computer readable medium further include instructions which, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the processor to:

receive user selection of at least one excluded string, and

analyze the codebase by searching the codebase for matches with the at least one search string and excluding matches with the at least one excluded string.

20. The computer program product of claim 17 wherein the instructions stored on the computer readable medium further include instructions which, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the processor to produce the at least one report in the form of one of a listing of each impacted line of source code and a listing of each impacted codebase component.
