CISQ Index

Extension ID

com.castsoftware.cisq-index

Description

This extension will compute CISQ Quality Software Characteristic Measures as Business Criteria and CISQ Measure Elements as Technical Criteria. All CAST rules that are tagged with a CISQ related tag will contribute to the various CISQ Measure Elements / CISQ Quality Software Characteristic Measures thereby allowing specific grades and rule violations to be reported.

Compatibility

CISQ version

Download and installation instructions

The extension will not be automatically downloaded and installed in CAST Imaging Console. If you need to use it, should manually install the extension.

Configuration requirements

Generate a snapshot

A new snapshot must be generated (after the extension is installed) before results can be viewed. If you do not immediately see changes in the dashboard, please consider restarting Apache Tomcat and/or emptying your browser cache.

Engineering Dashboard

Out of the box, no tiles will be provided to display data for this extension, however it is possible to create tiles manually to display Violation data using the Industry Standard/s tile plugin in v. ≥ 1.18 of the Engineering Dashboard. See Engineering Dashboard tile management for more information:

Clicking on the tile navigates to Risk investigation view and the specified Industry Standard will be selected in the Health Factor table.

Health Dashboard

Out of the box, no tiles will be provided to display data for this extension, however it is possible to create tiles manually to display Grade, Compliance, and Violation data directly from this extension using the Industry Standard/s tile plugin in v. ≥ 1.17 of the Health Dashboard. See Health Dashboard tile management for more information:

Clicking on any of these tiles will display a list of the rules that have been tagged with the specified standard as provided by the extension. Compliance percentage is also displayed in a “bubble”:

Compliance grade at Application level with compliance percentage displayed in a “bubble”

Compliance grade at Portfolio level

Example for cmp.json / cmp-ISO.json

Configuration to create a “gauge” tile at portfolio level (multi-app level) to show a “parent” CISQ-Security Business Criterion tile:

{
  "id": 1234,
  "plugin": "IndustryStandards",
  "color": "black",
  "parameters": {
    "type": "CISQ",
    "title": "CISQ-Security",
    "widget": "gauge",
    "industryStandard": {
        "id": "1062166",
        "indexID": "1062100",
        "mode": "grade",
        "format": "0.00",
        "description": "CISQ-Security in grade format"
    }
  }
}

Example for app.json

Configuration to create a “number of violations” tile at application level (single app level) to show a CISQ-Security Business Criterion tile:

{
  "id": 1236,
  "plugin": "IndustryStandard",
  "color": "orange",
  "parameters": {
    "type": "CISQ",    
    "title": "CISQ-Security",
    "industryStandard": {

        "indexID": "1062100",
        "mode": "violations",
        "format": "0,000",
        "description": "CISQ-Security in number of violations format" 
    }
  }
}

Security Dashboard

Out of the box, no tiles will be provided to display data for this extension, however it is possible to create tiles manually to display Violation data using the Industry Standard/s tile plugin in v. ≥ 1.18 of the Security Dashboard.
