- You might want to check the "Software Re-engineering Web Home Page"
- which has a lot of useful information about tools, resources, etc, for
- reverse engineering. You can find it at:
- http://www.erg.abdn.ac.uk/users/brant/sre
-
- Another useful site, associated with comp.software-eng and containing
- a wider selection of CASE tools is:
- http://www.qucis.queensu.ca/Software-Engineering
-
- ----------
-
- One tool I'd recommend you look at (since we make it) is Imagix 4D, a
- program understanding tool for C and C++ software.
-
- What's unique about Imagix 4D -
- - shows many aspects of software - control flow, data flow, build
- dependencies, class use (C++ only), test coverage, performance...
- - allows easy focusing on pertinent data through knowledge-based
- exploration engine
- - speeds comprehension through 3D graphic visualization
- - automatically generates design documentation, including html
- - is affordably priced
