So you just opened a Repository project, edited the Architecture diagrams, only to discover that there is no way to save your edits! What is going on here?! Our project model is somewhat convoluted – there is a sort of logic … Continue reading
If architectural drift is addressed before monolithic code tangles have formed, the higher-level components can be disentangled by relatively low cost/risk relocation of classes between components. Otherwise more invasive class-level surgery is needed – this is possible with Restructure101, but … Continue reading
Need to refactor your software architecture? Today we are very pleased to announce the general availability of Restructure101 version 1.0 for Java and .NET. Restructure101 lets software developers refactor their software architecture to remove costly dependency tangles and structural complexity. … Continue reading
Levelized Structure Maps (LSM) are a new, intuitive way to visualize and manipulate software systems. Using LSM, large-scale refactoring to remove dependency tangles and other over-complexity, becomes second nature. LSM are the core of Restructure101. Items in the LSM are levelized … Continue reading
The name-map is a feature that most users will not require. But, there are certain use cases where its use can be invaluable. For example: If you have a large volume of class to class transformations, you may notice the … Continue reading
With the recent v3.4 release of Structure101, we have included plugins for Maven and Sonar. The Maven plugin makes it really easy to include checks for complexity and architecture violations as part of your build, and report or break the … Continue reading
An often overlooked extension to Structure101 is the “Headless” mode of operation. This lets you hook s101 into your nightly build so that it checks for things like newly introduced complexity or architectural rules being violated while you sleep. You … Continue reading
Architecture Diagrams in Structure101 are mapped to the physical code by patterns associated with each cell in the diagram. This enables the visual specification of rules that can then be applied to a specific version of your code so that … Continue reading
