DesignDoc tools can be used to fully understand your existing software in terms of complexity, similarity, dead code, and external dependencies. The use of DesignDoc tools results in shorter development times and therefore reduced development costs, reduced maintenance costs and a higher return on investment. Any project with schedule risk would benefit from DesignDoc tools.

Legacy DesignDoc tool reads your existing application to generate design documentation so that the application code can be understood by engineers responsible for maintaining the product. It consists of a detailed presentation of the structure and flow of the legacy code. It is used to support current software development and/or enhancement as well as future code maintenance. It includes:

Structure Charts

Cause Effect Graphs

Structured System Analysis & Structured Design

Control & Data Flow Graphs

State Transition Tables

Data Flow Diagrams

State Machine Models

Legacy+New DesignDoc tool reads the legacy application and the newly converted code* to generate side-by-side design documentation. It consists of a detailed presentation of the structure and flow of the legacy code cross-referenced to the new code. It is used to support the current transformation to a new language, system restructuring or enhancement, and future code maintenance. It includes:

Structure Charts

State Transition Tables

Object-Oriented Analysis and Design

Control & Data Flow Graphs

Business Rule Models

Structured System Analysis & Structured Design

Cause Effect Graphs

State Machine Models

The DesignDoc tools can be purchased as a monthly service so that documentation can be re-generated as new code is developed. DesignDocs provides constantly up-to-date documentation of critical software systems written in many languages. This documentation allows users with varying experience levels to quickly familiarize themselves with the structure and flow of the application through easily navigable diagrams, hyperlinking code, and other UML artifacts and graphics. DesignDocs is processed and hosted in the cloud using Amazon Web Services, which assures reliability, security and availability.
