C++ Software Design and Development in Pittsburgh

Vizlogix is experienced in the development and customization of applications written in C and C++. Complex issues, such as language parsing and code generation, can be solved using several strategies and libraries that make C++ a powerful tool in those applications.

Design Extraction and Program Comprehension

Vizlogix offers various software analysis services, based on SolidSourceIT's proven software analysis tools, ensuring a fact-based stance towards solving development challenges. Our services may be used by customers who need support in situations where a large amount of unfamiliar source code needs to be understood and assessed as quickly as possible by managers and developers.

The proliferation of open source software (OSS) has been both advantageous and challenging for organizations wishing to make use of it. Developers need to be able to quickly understand hundreds of thousands, or even millions, of lines of code written by many individuals over the course of several years. At the same time, tools for such endeavors may involve their own substantial learning curve. In such cases, it may make sense to consult with a vendor that is able to apply their own tools and experience to the problem.

Examples include instances where:

• software source code is acquired from an outside vendor
• a company decides to work with open source systems
• a large code base is acquired through a corporate acquisition or merger
• a company re-launches software development activities on legacy code and many of the original developers have been reassigned or left the organization

Primary remedial actions include:

• software architecture and design recovery
• team knowledge distribution
• software renovation audit (e.g. detection of architecture erosion, highly complex and poorly documented code areas, code duplication, dead code, etc.)
  

"Reconstruction plays an important role in increasing the quality and productivity of software development. It involves activities for abstracting information that ranges from source-level information to higher-level views of that information." - Amita Jain Vinita and Devendra K. Tayal, "On reverse engineering an object-oriented code into UML class diagrams incorporating extensible mechanisms", ACM SIGSOFT Software Engineering Notes, 33 (5), 2008, p. 1.
