Leveraging AI to Improve PowerBuilder Code Analysis and Maintenance
Recorded during Elevate 2025, the annual PowerBuilder conference organized by Appeon, this session shows how Visual Expert's AI features help developers understand legacy code, improve documentation, and address security, quality, and performance issues in PowerBuilder, Oracle, and SQL Server applications.
Christophe Dufourmantelle, CEO of Novalys, presents three practical AI use cases built on Visual Expert's static analysis engine:
- Explaining code from both a business and logical perspective
- Generating context-aware comments to improve code readability
- Proposing fixes for code inspection findings, reviewed and applied by the developer
- Identifying performance bottlenecks and optimization opportunities
This session is aimed at developers and technical managers looking for practical ways to understand PowerBuilder, Oracle, and SQL Server code, maintain and enhance existing applications, and reduce manual analysis effort.
