Axivion Bauhaus Suite - Stopping Software Erosion
Software erosion is the constant decay of the internal structure of a software system that occurs in all phases of software development and maintenance. It has many causes ranging from “copy & paste programming” to neglect of architectural specifications.
Software erosion cannot be measured using traditional testing methods: “The software works fine”, yet, appearances are deceptive. Sooner or later, software erosion makes itself felt through its symptoms: rising development costs, increasing test effort, longer release cycles, escalating project risk, etc.
Software erosion is a primary cause of problems in developing and maintaining software systems.
Our Solution
With the Axivion Bauhaus Suite, you have a comprehensive solution at hand that stops software erosion.
Triggers for software erosion such as architecture violations, copy & paste clones, cyclic dependencies, dead code, style violations and metric outliers are pinpointed during development.
Bauhaus integrates into your existing processes and environments and automatically runs in the background. This means your developers can quickly take measures against the causes of software erosion before erosion takes hold.
With the Bauhaus Scripting Add-On you can also create your own scripts to perform additional analyses, to generate additional reports, to calculate new metrics, to perform in-house style checks etc.
Bauhaus analysis tools are available for the C, C++, C#, Java, Ada, Visual Basic and COBOL languages.
