No More Manual Reverse-Engineering

Bidirectional Architecture Modeling with Axivion and Enterprise Architect

Understanding the architecture of a large, legacy, or rapidly evolving codebase is one of the most time-consuming challenges in software development. Until now, creating an accurate architecture model meant painstaking manual reverse-engineering — hours of work that's out of date the moment the code changes.

With Axivion’s Architecture Export feature, that work is done for you. Axivion automatically extracts all key architectural elements directly from your source code — components, functions, attributes, information flow, and dependencies (including AUTOSAR-specific dependencies) — and generates a complete, ready-to-use architecture model. That model can be imported straight into Sparx Enterprise Architect as your starting point.

From there, your architects can refine and adapt the model as the system evolves, then re-import it back into Axivion for continuous architecture verification. It's a fully connected, bidirectional workflow — and it starts with your code.

Join this webinar for a live demonstration and see how Architecture Export closes the gap between your code and your architecture documentation.

Dr. Andreas Gaiser, Principal Software Engineer at Software Quality Solutions will give you deep insights into:

• Why architecture documentation drifts out of sync with the codebase
• The cost of architecture violations going undetected
• What Axivion's Architecture Verification does (for attendees who may be new)
• The new Architecture Export Feature of Axivion:
  • What gets extracted: components, functions, attributes, information flow, dependencies
  • How the extraction works — what drives the analysis (source code, build info, etc.)
  • DEMO:
    • Running the export on a real or representative project
    • Walking through the generated model
    • Importing the model into Sparx Enterprise Architect
    • Reviewing and adapting the model in Enterprise Architect
    • Re-importing the modified model back into Axivion for verification
• Teams dealing with legacy or undocumented codebases
• Developers with mandated uses of EA
• Teams already using Sparx Enterprise Architect
