CASEVision - Transforming software development through visualization

CASEVision is the only integrated software development environment that helps you manage complex development problems through visualization and advanced technology.

Software development is a visual task. However, traditional tools allow only a text-based approach to development. Although code is written in textual form, there is always an image or process being modeled. That model exists in your mind. When you debug or analyze code, you resolve the disconnect between the code and the mental image.

CASEvision provides a visual approach to programming that makes these disconnects readily apparent. Some of the visual tools include:

• Array Visualizer - simplifies debugging of complex arrays through a unique 3-D interface

• Structure Browser - rapidly dereferences pointers in linked lists and data structures in a graphical format, highlighting dangling or incorrect pointers

• Heap View - a graphical display of dynamic memory that automatically highlights mem- ory leaks and errors

• Static Analyzer - displays the structure of large, complex programs, facilitating more rapid understanding of the structure of the code.

CASEvision tools provide advanced technology that meets the demands of today's complex envi- ronments including:

• Multiple Process and Parallelized Programs

• Fast Watchpoint Capabilities

• Interpreter Support

• Object Oriented Programming

Powerful tool integration is the key to a flexible CASE environment. ToolTalk, the standard UNIX integration system that allows the different tools to access each other, is bundled with every Silicon Graphics system.
