Understand the source, and the journey
Reading software, reading the project.
Reading source code with ForestFire is a completely new experience. It provides you with information rich source code view that allows you to instantly see who wrote what and when and if the code has been touched since it was first written.
sourceview
You can control the level of information the visualization contains - you can go for high level of relativistic information or aim for rapid visual identification of various code aspects.
ForestFire comes with predefined view models for agile projects, but our consultans can help you define and refine specific view models for your needs. You can control the time frame and many other variables to create a view model that makes the information you seek pop out.
file maps
ForestFire source view can be expanded via plugins you can write yourself, or have our consultans write them for you. You can easily add visualisation filters for profiler output, coverage data and various static analyzers.
When getting to know a new codebase you can rapidly browse throw folders and see relative code ownership and file sizes.
