Publisher review:Dependency Structure Matrix PlugIn are very useful in the analysis and verification of software architectures Dependency Structure Matrices (DSMs) are very useful in the analysis and verification of software architectures because they allow the analyst to more easily understand inter-module dependencies than traditional box and arrow techniques which become impossible to use for all but the simplest applications.
This plugin allows users of Lutz Roeder's Reflector to generate and manipulate such matrices. It is based on the work by Neeraj Sangal, Ev Jordan, Vineet Sinha and Daniel Jackson in the paper: Using Dependency Models to Manage Complex Software Architecture.
With this plugin you can :
- Untangle complex inter-module dependencies in .NET assemblies (CIL 2.0 is supported)
- Identify design violations
- Identify cyclic dependencies
Dependency Structure Matrix PlugIn is a ASP.NET script for Development Tools scripts design by Tom Carter.
It runs on following operating system: Windows.
