And We Are Off..
Wednesday, June 16th, 2010 - By Vineet Sinha
After years of hard-work, we are extremely happy to be opening the doors to let everyone in to see our work.
We have been working hard so that programmers can easily work with large codebases – whether it is in making sense of the code that you have, documenting it, or just discussing it with team mates. You will notice that we have built a set of powerful but easy to use diagramming tools. We believe these tools will help you and your team work more effectively.
We are confident that you will find Architexa helpful in your coding tasks. We also want to make sure you are happy with using the Architexa Suite – so we do have a free 30-day trial that you can use. Additionally, as part of the launch we are offering an really big 50% discount for those who purchase a license in the next month.
Come on in!! Try the software, and most importantly, let us know what you think.
We’ve had a great response so far! Here are a few of the things people are saying…
“Dr. Dobb’s: Vineet, tell us about the product you’re launching.
Sinha: Architexa, which is the name of the company we’ve launched, was created to help members of development teams have a better view of the important aspects of the code — this includes not just seeing how the high-level components depend on one another, but also in understanding the core of a system (how the main classes interact with one another), and even the most important use cases.“
Architexa aims to make UML quick and easy
“Architexa is a new Eclipse-based UML modeling tool that allows developers to quickly gain insight into code relationships through UML diagrams, and share what they find with others. The key to fast exploration of the code base is to provide 3 farmiliar diagram types to developers (layered, class and sequence diagram) and allow developers to build up the relationships and granularity as they explore and understanc the code base.“
Architexa: Get To Know Your Code Better
“As a startup letting people into the site has been useful. It has been great to hear from users as to what they have found to be challenging while working on their own codebases, and we have been really happy that what we are building aligns with their needs.“
Architexa builds modeling tools for developers
“Interactive and diagrammatic exploration tools were what people needed. The diagrams generated in existing UML tools show too much information, and there is little support for developers to explore and find the right information that they care about, he explained.
Traditional Unified Modeling Language (UML) tools focus heavily on design and code generation, but Sinha said UML can also be used to focus on communicating, verifying and understanding code, which was missing during his days at Microsoft.
“
All the best to you guys.
The easy part is behind you
Zviki, Thanks!
Yeah, it is hard in building a great vision, but we find it really fulfilling to have people fall in love with what we are doing.
