Code Rocket for Visual Studio

Code Rocket for Visual Studio is an innovative code visualization and documentation plugin for Microsoft Visual Studio which supports the design, development, and documentation of C#, C/C++ and Visual Basic code.

Unlike other documentation generation tools, Code Rocket drills down into the detailed logic inside the methods in your code. It makes use of comments in code to produce highly readable designs that reveal the code’s original intent and rationale. Detailed design documentation is presented in the form of business process-type flowcharts and pseudocode. These abstract views support review and discussion of the detailed system functionality in a way that everyone can easily understand, including technical and non-technical project stakeholders.

Code Rocket eliminates the effort typically required to perform the detailed design of a software system and ensures that documentation is delivered in a timely manner. Its novel 'dynamic synchronization' feature also ensures that the documentation never gets out of date with the corresponding code because changes in code and designs are automatically synchronized with each other.

During debugging, Code Rocket for Visual Studio allows you to trace the flow of your program's execution using both the flowchart and pseudocode designs alongside your code, including highlighting of breakpoints.

Benefits

Code Rocket for Visual Studio makes documentation a seamlessly integrated part of the software development process, plugging directly into your development IDE with minimal overheads and delivering the following key benefits:

• Design and visualization support for complex algorithms and business processes.
• Visualization of legacy code during code maintenance.
• Improved visibility of the detailed stages of software development, supporting review, QA, and project management.
• Reviewing and agreeing functionality with non-programmers, e.g. during requirements gathering with customers.
• Visualizing test paths in complex methods.
• Visualizing the execution of code during debugging.
• Detailed project documentation which can be exported in HTML and Word formats.
• Works out of the box with existing legacy code, no additional markup required.

Code Rocket’s seamless integration into Visual Studio allows you to write your code the way you currently do while Code Rocket works its magic behind the scenes. Get design and documentation support on demand when you need it and automatically allow others to get it when they need it too: project managers, customers, and new team members who wish to explore your code and start contributing fast.

Code Rocket for Visual Studio supports Visual Studio 2005, 2008 and 2010.

Code Rocket also supports the Eclipse IDE for Java and C/C++ development. It is also available as a standalone application, Code Rocket Designer, for performing upfront design of systems and for reverse engineering designs and documentation from legacy code.
