A new hire's first weeks go into one question: how does this codebase actually work? Understand answers it for them, instead of costing your senior engineers a month of interruptions.
Shared annotations · Architecture views · Coding standards enforced from day one
Understand helps onboard new engineers rapidly and safely via:
“I have found Understand to be an indispensable tool for learning new code. What I find most useful are the graphs that help me understand the relationships between different components. I would not be able to learn code as quickly as I can without the assistance of Understand!”
Four things a new engineer can do on their own, without booking time with whoever wrote it.
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.
