Headway Structure101™ Software Architecture Analysis

Rapidly gain a clearer, more complete understanding of the existing hierarchies and dependencies in complex C/C++ code bases with Headway Structure101 for C/C++ Coverity Edition. Using Coverity’s unique Software DNA Map™ analysis system, Structure 101 creates a sophisticated visualization of your software, including an architecture map, call graph visualization, and a dependency structure matrix (DSM). These next-generation visualization tehniques make Structure101 the first software architectural analysis tool to provide essential, actionable data that shortens development cycles and improves software integrity. Structure101’s unmatched software architectural analysis capabilities help architects and developers:

Thoroughly understand large, complex code bases, including legacy code that lacks documentation.

• Dependency graphs, dependency structure matrix (DSM) charts and layering schematics each provide unique insight into the architecture of your code to give you the complete picture.
• Automatic visualization of legacy architectures, with all dependencies clearly indicated, gives architects and developers an understanding of the codebase structure within minutes.
• Essential data helps developers ramp up quickly on new code bases.

Quickly identify architectural flaws and excessive software complexity that could be vulnerable to defects.

• Complexity metrics highlight areas of the code containing excess software complexity (“XS”), including cyclic dependencies and excessive cyclomatic complexity.

See the impact of changes before making them and easily track architectural changes over time.

• Impact analysis shows designers the effects of potential refactoring before making actual changes.
• Structural comparisons between current versions and previous baselines show architectural change over time clearly, with changes in structure and dependency visually highlighted.

Enforce architectural design rules to prevent unwanted dependencies from being introduced.

• Design rule enforcement automatically detects and flags violations to ensure future architectural integrity and prevent complexity debt.
