Structure101 Workspace Features

• Browse Top-Down - Browse top-down to discover how projects and packages use each other, and drill down for code-level details. Items are laid out so that dependencies flow down as much as possible.
• Browse Bottom-Up - Browse bottom-up to discover how a code item is used, and where dependencies are located in the architecture.
• Auto Follow - Select auto-follow to have the item under the cursor automatically spotlit (yellow highlight, using items above, used items below) as you browse source code, quickly navigate to dependent source.
• Notice New Dependencies - Immediately see new dependencies (purple) that you create as you work. See how dependency levels are affected and check-out to see structural changes between commits.
• Organize modules - Group related project/modules together and overlay on the Structure Map to make the codebase easier to understand for the whole team.
• Specify Dependency Constraints - Adjust layering and privacy to define allowed/forbidden dependencies in the overlay.
• Find Violations and Over Complexity - Use lists to navigate directly to spec violations, and structural anti-patterns such as “Tangles” (cyclic package dependencies) and “Fat” (too much in one package or class). Drill down to find the source of dependencies.
