Imagix 4D: Version 9.2 Available

(San Luis Obispo/USA, Offenburg/Germany, 30 October 2019)

Imagix 9.2 has been released and is now the standard download from the Imagix website.
It is available on Windows as well as Linux (both 32-bit and 64-bit).
Version 9.2 of Imagix 4D considerably extends the data flow analysis in reports and with data flow diagrams. These are powerful tools for pointer tracking and change analysis in projects. Sequence diagrams as an enhanced version of control flow graphs are now available in Imagix 4D.
Source code analysis is extended to the latest versions of MSVC 2019 and GCC 9 with features from C++14 and C++17. The review tool now supports the latest Common Weakness Enumeration (CWE) 3.3 checklist.

Imagix 4D podcast: Software developer Anna has got a problem

(Offenburg, 15 October 2019)

The software developer Anna is responsible for an old software project no one knows any more about. The software documentation gives little information that does not help at all... The whole thing is like a nightmare that seems solvable only with massive time and money wasting.
Then Anna comes across the tool Imagix 4D, which determines the actual state of software based on the source code. Through the generated graphs, documentation and reports, Anna quickly identifies the causes of the errors and can fix them more easily than expected. Anna immediately informs her customers, who are more than relieved...

How Imagix 4D supports the understanding of software based on source code

(Offenburg/Germany, 25 September 2019)

The size and complexity of software projects typically increase over their lifetime. As a result, it becomes more and more expensive to sustain enough knowledge to support maintenance, enhancements and verification against existing and changed requirements. This is exacerbated by the realities of personnel turnover and use of 3rd party and legacy code. Shortages of resources lead to shortcuts in quality, such as violations of guidelines and poor documentation.
This work will show how Imagix 4D improves the process of exploring and understanding unfamiliar source code. An introduction into why and where such a process is required will be followed by a description of the methods Imagix 4D introduces to support such source code analysis.

Free Webinar "Refactoring using Imagix 4D" on Tuesday, 1st of October 2019

(Offenburg/Germany, 03 July 2019)

In order to protect investments continuous refactoring is essential to increase lifetime of software applications.
Sometimes it pays off to perform refactoring of legacy code. In that case the program has potential to be reused in the latest projects. Thereby the code is revised towards an improved maintainability and extensibility while keeping its functionality. Imagix 4D is the ideal tool to assist you in performing the refactoring process. A comprehensive and well-arranged visualization of the existing architecture facilitates achieving a fast understanding of component interaction. Modifications can be performed smoothly.
Find out, how Imagix 4D can help to support with refactoring in our free webinar "Refactoring using Imagix 4D" on Tuesday, 1st of October 2019.
