Title: Reverse engineering
Post by: Tehila1 on February 04, 2014, 07:41:07 pm

Hello!

What is the most convenient way to synchronize the code with the appropriate sequence diagrams step by step?
 
Is there an easy way to do so directly from EA without installing other features?

Thanks in advance!

I doubt this would be possible with any tool at all. How would you steer runtime behavior so it matches the samples shown in a sequence diagram? You would need some test framework that leads your code through the path. Then you could advise EA to create a sequence diagram. But then it's up to you to compare design and as-is.

Thanks for reply,

If I have the option to install some utilities, what is the best one which enables reverse engineering to a sequence diagram?

In EA I found I can view the source code, run it, and from stack trace window, click the sequence diagram icon. However, I cannot run the source code, Run option in the execution analyzer is always enabled. Any ideas?

Thanks in advance.
