Lucky you — his project is now yours.
Mac, Linux and Windows · Over 20 languages · A million lines parsed in minutes
Maintaining legacy code is infinitely easier when you can visualize it and understand how it actually works. Understand™ makes this possible. This is the way.
It only takes a few minutes for Understand™ to parse a million lines of source code and begin generating powerful visualizations and insights.
Once Understand™ has analyzed your code, you can begin exploring the generated graphs or dig deeper and see how everything is connected.
After visualizing relationships and identifying issues, you can quickly edit the source or assign parts to your team without ever leaving Understand™.
The fastest way to refactor or fix inherited code is to divide and conquer. Understand™ makes this easy for teams.
Text, images and anything else, kept inside the project where the next person will find them.
Hand different parts of the code to different people instead of everyone reading everything.
Know which engineer is managing each part of the code before you touch it.
Mark what needs coming back to, so the problem is recorded against the code itself.
“Understand is invaluable in my work, not just for understanding code I have inherited, but for understanding the entire language! Understand has made a difference, not just in my daily work, but in my career overall!”
“Understand is integral in my code analysis and development activities. I use it to parse our project's source code to obtain various metrics (complexity, SLOC, etc.), to understand control and data flow, to research impacts of changes, etc.”
Try Understand™ for yourself on the project you just inherited.
Use it on Mac, Linux, or Windows. Analyze over 20 languages.
