APEX Project Eye (APE) by United Codes provides deep insights into Oracle APEX applications. It combines interactive, detailed page overviews, graphical page flow diagrams, session tracing, and much more. This allows you to easily see how an application is built, what it depends on, and who is using it and how.

Why did we specifically choose to work with APEX Project Eye? Because we believe it will help elevate our development processes and ensure unparalleled quality. Here are some powerful benefits that convinced us:

  • Best practices implementation: with APE, we can apply best practices to our development processes, allowing us to guarantee even better quality.
  • Automatic code review: using rules, we can check our entire application for compliance with best practices. If issues are identified, we receive specific feedback on where the problem lies, enabling our developers to intervene quickly and effectively.
  • Automatic documentation generation: APE allows us to automatically generate documentation, provided developers add comments to the code. This saves time and ensures that our code is well-documented.
  • ERD and Page Flow diagrams: we can easily create Entity-Relationship Diagrams (ERD) and Page Flow diagrams, providing both developers and analysts with a clear understanding of the structure and flow of our application.
  • Sessions and debugging: with APE, we can view sessions and even simulate exactly how a user interacts with our application, which is invaluable for debugging purposes.
  • Translation management: for applications with multilingual support, we can easily manage translations via APEX Project Eye.
  • Watchtower and SERT Security Checks: APEX Project Eye includes Watchtower for monitoring automations/jobs and other critical points. Even more importantly, APE conducts 119 SERT security checks (XSS, URL tampering, SQL Injection, etc.) to identify and resolve vulnerabilities, improving the security of our applications.

We’re really looking forward to leveraging these benefits and strengthening our development processes with APEX Project Eye from United Codes. We’ll also be attending additional training sessions soon to further apply this tool in practice.
