Award-winning software architecture management solution provides new API and scripting capabilities to extend and integrate Lattix with more platforms and tools

Boston, MA - November 10, 2009- Lattix Inc., a leading provider of innovative software architecture management solutions, today announced the release of its newest solution, Lattix 5.5. This solution includes powerful new functionality to enable architects, developers and managers to identify issues, re-engineer,and measure the quality of complex software systems.

In addition to performance improvements and feature enhancements, Lattix 5.5 provides a new API which can be used to extend and customize the functionality of Lattix. Also new in Lattix 5.5 are improved integrations to Microsoft Visual Studio and Klocwork, as well as new integrations with the popular graphing packages GraphViz and Pajek.

"The new API enables our users to customize Lattix to fit seamlessly in their development environment," explains Neeraj Sangal, president and founder of Lattix. "With a number of scripts already available from Lattix, our customers can now create more precise models and achieve better results through higher utilization."

Users can now write their own Groovy scripts to manipulate and query a Lattix project, or change an existing script to meet their requirements. The Scripts Repository in the Lattix KnowledgeBase provides access to scripts such as those which:

    • enable integration with build systems for change impact analysis
    • display a variety of network diagrams using GraphViz
    • generate a list of dependency paths between two elements

The new integration with Microsoft Visual Studio enables the source code for a selected dependency or element definition to be displayed in Visual Studio. With Lattix LDC, it is possible to automatically update the Lattix project with source file and line number information as part of the Visual Studio build process.
