Application Discovery and Understanding - ADU Process

ADU Process

ADU software is usually written to scan the following application structures:

  • RDBMS tables and columns
  • Application source code
  • User interfaces (searching for labels of forms)
  • Reports

The output of the ADU process frequently includes:

  • Lists of previously registered data elements discovered within an application
  • List of unregistered data elements discovered

Note that a registered data element is any data element that already exists within a metadata registry
