Application Portfolio Auditor

Application Portfolio Auditor is an open-source assessment tool that automates and simplifies the audit of large sets of applications. By leveraging up to 18 analysis tools, it generates comprehensive reports helping you to quickly gain insights on your applications and build an effective application modernization roadmap.

Key features:

  • Comprehensive CLI: The audit Command Line Interface (CLI) lowers the barriers to reliably analyze a large set of applications.

  • Hardened by default: Systematically validates prerequisites and pre-configures analysis tools following best practices.

  • Wide variety of applications supported: Covers most modern programming languages (Java, Python, .NET, NodeJS) and analyzes as well source code as compiled binaries.

  • Combined intelligence: Harnesses and combines insights of up to 18 free and open-source application analysis tools.

  • Aggregated summaries: Generates static HTML pages connecting all results to help you understand your portfolio from different perspectives such as cloud-readiness, security, languages used, licensing, and quality.

  • Portable results: Exports reports as exploded directory, ZIP files, Kubernetes or Cloud-Foundry deployments.

Getting Started

Follow these steps to get started with Application Portfolio Auditor:

  1. Clone the repository:
$ git clone [email protected]:vmware-tanzu/application-portfolio-auditor.git
  1. Install prerequisites:
$ cd application-portfolio-auditor
$ ./audit setup

Note: This command automates the installation of all required prerequisites. It automatically configures based on the detected operating system (MacOS, Ubuntu, CentOS or Amazon Linux 2023) and requires sudo rights. The process may take several minutes to complete.

Hint: If you are experiencing issues during the installation, please make sure that your local user has full access to the installation folder: $ sudo chown -R $(id -u):$(id -g) "application-portfolio-auditor"

  1. Retrieve necessary tools and frameworks:
$ ./audit download

Note: This command downloads the required resources from the Internet and builds multiple Docker images locally. The process may take several minutes to complete.

  1. Generate your first report:
    1. Download a test application: mkdir -p apps/test; wget -P apps/test https://repo1.maven.org/maven2/org/codehaus/cargo/simple-ear/1.10.9/simple-ear-1.10.9.ear
    2. Start the analysis ./audit run -a -g test
    3. Open the index.html file in the created reports/TIMESTAMP directory to view the generated reports.
    4. Start the Cloud Suitability Analyzer backend by executing ./launch_csa_ui.sh in the reports/TIMESTAMP directory. All other reports are static files.
    5. Explore the reports, findings, and tool capabilities!
