Magnus Robertsson shows how to control the code architecture manually, statically and dynamically in order to avoid an architectural drift leading to a big-ball-of-mud. For that, he recommends ways to enforce the reference architecture through peer review, code analysis, and zero tolerance to warnings and errors.
ej-technologies GmbH has released JProfiler 7.0. JProfiler is a Java SE/EE profiling tool which features CPU profiling, memory profiling, thread profiling and VM telemetry. Version 7.0 comes with an improved heap walker, custom probes and built-in probes for JDBC, JMS, JNDI, Servlets, files, sockets and processes.
NDepend 3.0 comes integrated with Visual Studio analyzing code in real time, can analyze code over multiple VS solutions, supports editing of multiple CQL rules at one time, and comes with enhanced search and performance.
The latest version of JProfiler supports dynamic instrumentation, locking history graphs and exceptional method run analysis. The company behind JProfiler, ej-technologies, recently announced the release of version 6.0 of the java application profiling software. The tool also allows monitor profiling and thread dumps view.
Any tool is only good if it is in the hands of a developer who knows how to use it. NDepend is one of those tools which is very powerful but addresses an aspect of software development too few architects or developers understand, software metrics.
