Is your CodeCheck workflow a loop of clicking links and switching tabs? 🔄 It’s time for a paradigm shift. Get into the developer workflow via the Violation Browser. 🚀 The Move: 1) Configure inspections to run in the background. 2) Open the Violation Browser (View -> Violation Browser). 3) Fix violations directly in the editor with inline context. Stop jumping between reports and source files. Watch this short video to set it up: youtu.be/lWwYyy1yiqs #UnderstandBySciTools #staticanalysis

Stop digging through legacy code and start mastering it. Understand is the ultimate power-up for your workflow: visualize complex architectures, track dependencies, and supercharge your productivity in seconds. 💻 🚀 Try it today: licensing.scitools.com/request/trial/… #UnderstandBySciTools #staticanalysis

As Embedded World 2026 draws to a close, we would like to extend our sincere gratitude to everyone who visited our booth. Engaging with such a forward-thinking community of engineers, partners, and innovators is always a highlight for our team. The insights shared and connections made this week reinforce our commitment to advancing the future of embedded systems. We're already looking forward to returning next year with even more to share. Until then, thank you for making this year’s exhibition a success! 💼 🚀 #EmbeddedWorld #EW26 #Understand

It’s the final countdown at #EW26! 🚀 We’ve had an incredible week in Nuremberg talking all things code analysis and architecture with the best in the industry. If you haven't stopped by the SciTools booth yet, tomorrow (Thursday) is your last chance! Come say hi, and let’s talk about making your complex codebases more understandable. See you there! #UnderstandBySciTools

A race condition happens when multiple threads access the same data at the same time and the final result depends on which one runs first. That unpredictability can cause bugs that are incredibly hard to reproduce. For example, two threads incrementing the same counter without proper locking could overwrite each other’s updates. #Understand helps developers avoid these issues by making it easier to trace shared variables, visualize call paths across threads, and identify where synchronization may be missing. When you can see how your #code interacts, concurrency bugs become much easier to prevent. 🔍 Try Understand today: licensing.scitools.com/request/trial/… #staticanalysis #software #UnderstandBySciTools

Why use five tools when you only need one? From reverse engineering to metrics and automation, #Understand is the Swiss Army Knife of static analysis. Try it for yourself today: scitools.com

In engineering, "halfway" is a hazard. ⚠️ 50% parse accuracy means you're only seeing half the story. High-level analysis requires high-level precision. Learn how to set up your project with 100% accuracy here: support.scitools.com/a/solutions/ar… #UnderstandbySciTools #code #staticanalysis

Every time you move your hand to the mouse to fix a bracket or move a line, you’re leaking productivity. In #Understand, the keyboard is your power tool. Master these 3 "Flow State" macros: ✅ Cmd + J: Jump to matching braces instantly. No more hunting for where that if statement ends. ✅ Cmd + T: Transpose lines. Swap logic without the cut-and-paste dance. ✅ Option + Cmd + U: Instant capitalization for those CONST_VARIABLES. Stop editing. Start orchestrating.

Dead code adds up - and it slows everything down. With #Understand, you can instantly identify unused functions, classes, and variables across your entire codebase. Less noise. Faster builds. Lower risk. Cleaner architecture. What you remove is just as important as what you write. 🧹 scitools.com

The wait is almost over! 🏁 We’re in the home stretch of implementing MISRA C: 2023. Get ready for the most comprehensive static analysis support for the latest industry safety standards. Precision. Compliance. Speed. It's all coming. #UnderstandBySciTools #MISRA2023 #StaticAnalysis #CodeCheck #SoftwareSafety

One of our engineers put #AI to the test - writing an #Understand plugin by hand vs. using Cursor to generate it. The verdict? AI was a little faster (even with setup time) and a lot less painful than expected. The real takeaway: AI can shine on well-defined, script-style tasks, but design decisions and deep #code understanding are still human territory.

Most of our users know about iReports, but how about Batch Reports? With this feature, you can analyze a codebase more efficiently than ever. Select multiple reports - like Macro Cross References, Unused Objects, and Class Metrics - and generate them all in one go. Whether you export them as HTML for easy browsing or TXT for quick sharing, Batch Reports make it simple to get a full picture of your #code without breaking your flow.

Code comprehension is a developer’s ability to understand an existing codebase before making changes. In modern software, that’s often the hardest part of the job. Large, long-lived codebases are full of hidden dependencies, indirect relationships, and legacy decisions that aren’t obvious from reading a single file. When developers have strong code comprehension, they move faster, make safer changes, and reduce bugs. When they don’t, even small updates can feel risky and time-consuming. That’s where tools like Understand come in. By visualizing structure, dependencies, and relationships across an entire codebase, Understand helps developers answer the most important question before they code: “Do I really understand what this change will affect?” #UnderstandBySciTools #code #staticanalysis

Behind the scenes of our latest build 🛠️👀 We've been focusing on stability and clarity with things like smoother PHP analysis, cleaner C/C++ handling, and new #MISRA 2023 checks. On the UI side, graph exports got more styling options and large task graphs now run faster and clearer. Quiet progress - but it adds up fast.

Modern software isn’t written in just one language, and your analysis tools shouldn’t be either. #Understand supports multi-language codebases so your team can spend less time switching context and more time understanding your #software. Read more about Combined Language Analysis in Understand here: support.scitools.com/a/solutions/ar… #UnderstandBySciTools #SoftwareDevelopment

With the enhanced graph customization panel in #Understand 7.1, you can filter out the noise, focus on what matters, and tailor every graph to show exactly what you need. Cleaner graphs, faster insights. Read more about customizing graphs in Understand 7.1 here: support.scitools.com/a/solutions/ar… #UnderstandBySciTools

From legacy code to modern standards - take control of your analysis! The Plugin Manager in #Understand 7.0 lets you customize insights, improve code quality, and adapt to your team’s workflow with minimal setup. If you’re a developer or engineer who wants more from your codebase, this feature was built for you. Learn how to set up your plugins and run them by watching this video: youtu.be/4pH7WMSmnog

Jeanna has spent years working in embedded C, where understanding every variable matters. Instead of relying on simple searches or switching between IDEs, she uses #Understand’s Information Browser to instantly see how a variable is defined, assigned, and used across the codebase - even when it’s commented out or compiled away. With clear, precise insights and easy access to every occurrence, she gets up to speed faster and works more confidently. For Jeanna, Understand isn’t just a tool - it’s how she stays productive and in control of complex code. Are you ready to try it for yourself?
