New Features

New Big Picture dashboard:

• Overview of the factory architecture landscape, focused on findings, per domain, application and module

• Architecture findings evolution charts

Module and Application Warnings:

• Display a warning indicator when a module or application has references that are sources of findings at upper layers

Domain Warnings:

• Display a warning indicator when a domain has allowed references to other domains by configuration (entities to another vertical, strong between horizontals)

Documentation:

• Discovery User Manual (to be released shortly)

• Domain Architecture Design with OutSystems (to be released shortly)

Improvements

Domains:

• Full OutSystems 11 domain architecture support

• Ability to dig into the root source of a domain architecture finding

Findings:

• Reviewed and aligned with current architecture rules

• Counters are now reset when a module is unselected (to ensure unselected modules don't influence the counters on Big Picture)

• Number of producers now includes unselected modules, but no longer includes system modules

• Cyclic/Side/Upper findings: analysis of selected modules now detect findings to selected and unselected modules

Architecture Canvas:

• The tool adapts to the canvas version based on the OutSystems Platform version and factory architecture:

  • OutSystems 10 - 4 layers

  • OutSystems 11 - 3 layers

Bug Fixing

Findings Analysis:

• Fixed an issue where cyclic and upper findings weren’t being raised on weak references

Snapshots:

• Detect when a snapshot fails to generate and display an error message

Module Canvas:

• Hide System applications/modules from consumers and producers

• Consumed elements popup will only display elements from selected modules

• Hide the warnings of a module when it is unselected

Popups:

• Fixed an issue where the popup would not shrink horizontally

Fixed issues in the following functionality when running Discovery over Oracle databases:

• Loading the Module Canvas screen

• Loading the Application Canvas screen

• Loading the Domain screen

• Revalidating the architecture

• Searching application after typing on the “Type the Name, …” textbox

• Capturing or importing snapshots or loading those snapshots 

• Adding Domains via LifeTime teams
