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?”

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.

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.
