RE: (ROSE) Generating Sequence diagram from Code

[Paul Netherwood]

Title: RE: (ROSE) UML and Business Rules

My experience is that its not very useful. The call graphs produced by Together are so detailed it is very difficult to determine the main interactions. Often with sequence diagrams you are only interested in some key interactions. Together has no way of knowing what they are and gives you all of them. In fact the diagrams are so detailed its easier looking at the code than the generated diagram :-). I've found that source browsers (like Source Navigator) are better for understanding legacy code so that I can create hand generated sequence diagrams of the main interactions.

Hi,

 

As far as I know, you cannot. I know that the tool Together supports this feature for Java. I'm not quite sure of how usefull this feature is however. It can be a good tool when trying to analyse not very well documented legacy code.

 

Anyone tried the reverse-engineering of code into sequence diagrams with Together (or any other tool) ? What are your experiences ? Is it any usefull ?

 

Regards

Arne Styve

Hi All,

 

I have a mdl with reverse engineered classes.

The code- source files are with me.

 

The UML says, u can generate sequence diagram from the code.

Can some one tell me how to do this in rose?

 

Thanks in Advance

Shriram
