1 The vast majority of code suffers from poor structure - a huge driver of cost - making it difficult or impossible to know the impact of changes, what to test, where to add code.

2 Restructure101 is focused exclusively on refactoring your software architecture.

Not low level code refactoring but high-level structural refactoring - components, packages, jars, modules, assemblies, directories etc.

Remove component level tangles and see how much more effective the team becomes.

3 With the complexity inherent in today's codebases, the ability to let you see only what you need to see in the context of the whole code-base is key to successful refactoring. Our unique Levelized Structure Maps (LSMs) and their wide range of viewing options deliver the focus you need.

4 Manipulate our LSMs interactively with drag-and-drop simplicity to simulate structural refactorings. With the complexity chart, it's a risk-free heuristic step-by-step process that lets you see the impact of each change, so you always know you are heading in the right direction, allowing you to easily backtrack when necessary.

5 Restructure101's 'notables' highlight and rate the structural issues in your codebase - package tangles, class tangles, 'fat', and unused code so you know exactly where to target your efforts.

6 The goal is to drive the complexity chart toward the origin for a healthier, debt-free codebase, at which point you export your action list.

While the developers see and work through the action list in their IDE, progress can be tracked on a project wide basis in our centralized web based repository, integrated seamlessly with Sonar.

1 Define a reference architecture and layering rules for your whole team.

• Our rich, intuitive architecture diagrams express containment, visibility and layering.
• Map blocks in diagrams to physical code with regex patterns that are used by Structure101 to discover and display violations.

2 Communicate your architecture to the whole team.

• Our free IDE plugins present your reference architecture to developers and warn at compile-time when a code change violates your architecture.
• Our free Sonar plugin and web application track quality metrics and violations of your software architecture as it evolves over time.

3 Improve your understanding of your codebase from several perspectives with our comprehensive range of visualization tools.

• Ensure developers know where to extend the code.
• Rich impact analysis when changes are required to the code, so you know exactly where and what to test.

Visualization and understanding

4 Compare - see how your codebase has changed from any previous build - what are the new dependencies, new architecture violations, complexity metrics and trends? You don't need to review everything all the time - just keep an eye on how it's evolving.

5 Measure complexity limits and rule violations at any level: design, package or namespace, class, method.

1 Decide which complexity thresholds and architecture rules will not be violated.

2 Break the build and notify when structural constraints are crossed.

3 Automate the recording and tracking of architecture, violations, and complexity debt over time with the Structure101 web application and/or our Sonar plugin.
