Can you clarify where use of Fast Track the reports saves effort? For Batch: What does it tell us over tools such as WinDiff and Visual File Comparison Tool?
With Windiff or other File Compare tools will only show you color-coded outputs of what lines are different between Vanilla and Custom programs. These tools will not be able to read the code and understand the code to tell you what the change itself is for and whether such change is impacted by the future release. Fast Track uses a code parser to READ the code line by line, read the object references within each line of code and determine if those objects are impacted by changes in V9.0 code. We use ExamDiff to display the code comparison results but the real intelligence is in the reading of the code and understanding what that custom code refers to. For Online: PS provides side by side comparisons. PS may provide this but those comparisons are not easy to read and nor do they tell you what within that code is impacted. They only give you the two code pieces side by side and highlight the lines that are different. This is similar to what I have described above.
