About
Scientific Toolworks Understand is the developer's "Swiss Army Knife" for maintaining, measuring, and virtualizing code bases. Quickly interpret large or complex legacy codebases, often with poor documentation. Visualize complex legacy code, perform impact analysis, and provide powerful metrics.
Accessible through an optimized information browser, the software provides a comprehensive overview of your software in a fast and simple format. Quickly understand your codebase with a wide range of metrics, custom reports, graphs, a range of dependency analysis features, and precise search options. Combined with a customizable, full-featured programming interface, it is the best programming editor for maintaining and understanding your code.
The editor was designed to be just like the best programming editors and IDEs, but with additional features for code support and understanding. The GUI has tabs, tab groups, and docking features. The editor also has syntax highlighting, autocompletion, syntax folding, and collapsing. The built-in Browse mode turns the editor into a web browser for code that offers a wealth of information, while the File and Folder Compare feature lets you quickly compare objects, files, and folders without the need for analysis. With an advanced "compare" feature and the ability to customize workspaces, it provides unprecedented insight into your source code.
The program allows you to quickly and easily search through millions of lines of source code using Instand Search. Instant Search uses an index that is built over time as files in your projects change. This allows you to search for individual words and enter more complex queries using wildcards or boolean logic.
