Using Understand for onboarding new software engineers can significantly enhance their ramp-up process. Understand provides comprehensive code intelligence, facilitating a deeper understanding of complex code bases. We also offer a variety of graphs that assist new members of your team to quickly generate their own mind map of your code base and our state of the art code parser will tell you everything there is to know about a given entity in your codebase.
-Marty T, Software Consultant
Use Understand to generate architectural diagrams and system overviews that show how different components of your project are interconnected. This helps newcomers visualize the structure and dependencies of the codebase.
Understand's Browse Mode allows you to click on any entity in your code and instantly be taken to where it is defined. All of our graphs are interactable so you can browse code while examining a dependency graph.
Use the Information Browser to see all the details of a selected function. Before making a change see everywhere that function is currently called and a breakdown of every parameter. You can also use the refactoring feature to instantly update every instance.
Ensure every new hire is following your company's coding standards with CodeCheck. Every commit can be scanned for consistency and CodeCheck will even check for common coding errors.
“What would have previously taken me several days (or weeks) can now be accomplished in a matter of hours… It’s the Swiss army knife of static analysis tools.”
“[Understand] is good for discovering the structure of the code dependencies and call-paths... it would have taken me hours to generate the same thing on my own.”
“Understand accelerates my understanding of large source code repositories.”
