February 22, 2011 – Lattix announced integration between GrammaTech CodeSonar and Lattix LDM. The integration provides precise and accurate architecture analysis to enable teams to review, refactor and maintain the architecture of complex C/C++ software systems. The Lattix CodeSonar integration loads the data from CodeSonar’s deep source code analysis to enable users to analyze the relationships between the contents of the C/C++ files. This capability to explore dependencies between functions, variables, class methods, fields and macros significantly improves impact analysis and support for refactoring initiatives.
Users can conduct impact analysis on defects identified by CodeSonar, utilizing impact tags and reports to ascertain those parts of the architecture which could be affected directly or indirectly by changes in the code to fix the defects.
