Most of available widget share some common characteristics:
...
- Number of Apps and Total Size (in Millions of LOCs)
- Number of Apps, grouped by Size
- Frequency of Apps, grouped by selected portfolio (Business Value, by default)
Risk Section
Risk Section widget includes summary data about number and distribution of applications based on Risk Index metric:
- Average of Risk Index
- Number of Apps, grouped by Risk ranges

Decision Quadrants Group
Decision Quadrants widgets represent graphically where your applications are depending on their business value, failure probability, maintenance risk and security risk.
...
Business chart Widget graphically displays a quadrant where apps (or groups of apps) are placed according to Business Value (Y-Axis).
X-Axis can be customized to display the available types of Risks:
...
The applications with higher exposure to this kind of risk will be those in the upper-right area of the quadrant.
Vertical (Y) axis represents Failure Probability. This indicates if applications are likely to provoke frequent errors in production. Applications with high Failure Probability could be a problem in the short term.
...
The applications with higher exposure to this kind of risk will be those in the upper-right area of the quadrant.
In the vertical axis we represent the Maintenance Risk: this indicates if applications’ maintenance costs are going to be higher than expected, or if it is going to be complex and costly to add new functionality to them. It is based on the evidence gathered from the code for the maintainability index.
...
The applications with higher exposure to this kind of risk will be those in the upper-right area of the quadrant.
In the vertical axis we represent the Security risk: This indicated how vulnerable an application is to internal or external attacks based on the number of vulnerabilities found in the application’s code as listed by CWE and OWASP.
