Ada Integrations

Understand functions as a comprehensive tool for static analysis and code understanding, allowing software developers to visualize and comprehend the complexities of large and intricate codebases, whether they consist of outdated legacy systems, critical safety applications, or contemporary multi-language projects. By analyzing the source code, it constructs an extensive "code dictionary" that documents all entities—such as files, classes, functions, and variables—while also producing essential cross-references, call trees, dependency graphs, and control-flow diagrams. Its suite of interactive and customizable visual tools, including call graphs, control flow graphs, and UML-style class diagrams, empowers users to explore the interconnections among various code components, pinpoint module dependencies, and foresee the potential consequences of alterations throughout the project. Additionally, Understand delivers a thorough assessment of various metrics at different levels—file, class, and function—such as cyclomatic complexity, total lines of code, comment-to-code ratios, and coupling/cohesion, which are crucial indicators of maintainability; these metrics can be conveniently visualized in treemaps and exported in formats like HTML or CSV. This layered methodology not only enhances the understanding of code but also facilitates significant improvements in overall software quality and maintainability, ultimately contributing to more efficient development processes and better long-term project sustainability.
