The U.S. Air Force is using Understand by SciTools to keep their code and their country safe.
Operational flight program · Written in Jovial · Several hours of analysis time saved
“Understand is a static code analysis tool designed for code exploration and has great graphing tools, metrics, reporting, data dictionary… and is customizable and extensible. It also helps you to find compile time and parsing errors.”
The U.S. Air Force develops software projects with high complexity and must often maintain them for decades. The sheer size of projects and the use of old and less-common coding languages (Fortran, Ada, etc) makes analysis and maintenance a major undertaking for the developers involved.
To analyze, explore, and understand an operational flight program written in Jovial.
Understand was used for the following applications.
The project was completed successfully and Understand™ helped the developer to rapidly produce an intuitive structure of the source code. It saved several hours of analysis time and provided an accurate understanding of the complex legacy project.
Learn how software developers across different industries use Understand to accelerate their workflows.
“Understand can take existing code and basically generate any design information or view you would want to see, in addition to performing several useful types of analyses.”
“Understand is a tremendous reverse engineering tool... with excellent metrics reporting and evolving standards verification capability.”
Point Understand at the project you inherited and see its structure in minutes, whatever language it was written in.
