Lattix Releases Lattix 3.5

Award-winning software architecture management solution now available for complex C/C++ and Ada embedded systems

BOSTON : Lattix Inc., the leading provider of innovative software architecture management solutions, today at the Embedded Systems Conference announced the release of its newest solution, Lattix 3.5. This solution features new C/C++ and Ada modules which enable architects, developers and managers to visualize, test, and maintain the architecture of their complex embedded systems.

Lattix has pioneered the Dependency Structure Matrix (DSM) approach which uses dependencies to create the most accurate and scaleable blueprint of software applications, databases and systems. Lattix 3.5 enables this approach for embedded systems by introducing new C/C++ and Ada modules which integrate with Understand, the popular reverse engineering tool and IDE from Scientific Toolworks.


"We think the DSM technology from Lattix is already incredibly useful for C/C++ projects, said Ken Nelson, president of Scientific Toolworks. "Combining it with Understand's code analysis technology makes it faster and more accurate for very large C/C++ programs."


"Our integration with Understand addresses the need for a more complete and scalable solution for large C/C++ and Ada systems," explains Neeraj Sangal, president and founder of Lattix. "Our customers can now quickly achieve measurable results at any stage of development by understanding and improving the architecture, eliminating rogue dependencies, expediting refactoring efforts, and reducing defects."


In addition to the new C/C++ and Ada modules, Lattix 3.5 provides these unique capabilities:


-- Compact DSM visualization of the architecture and dependencies of
systems comprised of applications, databases, frameworks, and services
-- Powerful DSM algorithms to analyze and specify structure, identify
opportunities for refactoring, and perform impact analysis before
making changes to the code
-- Automatic updating of architectural changes to immediately alert for
violations of the architecture and dependency rules

Lattix 3.5 is available immediately with modules for Ada, C/C++, Java, .NET, Oracle, Spring, Hibernate, and LDI. Lattix 3.5 also provides support for full web-based reporting of architectural metrics, violations, and incremental changes. For more information, visit http://www.lattix.com/news/Lattix35.php .
