CAST Highlight Data Source

This data source establishes a connection to CAST Highlight for importing application portfolio insights. Txture's CAST Highlight integration is capable of importing application portfolio insights from our partner CAST Highlight.

Connection configuration

The configuration requires the following parameters:

  • Username - Your CAST Highlight username
  • Password - Your CAST Highlight password
  • Company ID - The ID of your company in CAST Highlight

Finding the company ID

Unfortunately the Company ID is a bit hard to obtain. Login to CAST Highlight and navigate to CompaniesAudit. The displayed list has a column "Company" which contains integer company IDs. Collect all company IDs and add them to your data source configuration.

The CAST Highlight importer is capable of importing the following values:

  • Software Agility
  • Software Agility Label
  • Software Elegance
  • Software Elegance Label
  • Software Resilience

  • Source Code Health using the Software Health value

Creating importers

After configuring the data source, you can create auto-configured importers to bring data from CAST Highlight into Txture.
