Nope.
Here are the issues with reverse-engineering sequence diagrams from source
code:
- If you want to generate a sequence diagram for a single scenario, how do
you tell the tool which scenario to consider, if you are analyzing static
source code? This is a fairly intractable problem, because you yourself
would somehow have to tell the tool which path to take whenever a
conditional expression was encountered in the course code. Yuck!!
- If you generate **complete** sequence diagrams, with all the conditional
stuff in them, from your source code, they are too complex to be readily
understood.
A more appropriate procedure for generating sequence diagrams from code is
to generate the diagrams from **executing programs**. With this approach,
you actually **do** have the ability to create a meaningful sequence diagram
that represents the execution of a single scenario. Our Rose RealTime
product can do this...
