About Software Diagnostics

The »Software Intelligence & Mining Company«, Software Diagnostics, based in Potsdam, Germany, is a spin-off of Hasso-Plattner-Instituts Institute for IT systems engineering. The company’s mission is to make software development and maintenance projects transparent and manageable on the basis of »source code reality«.


Keep track of things: the patent-pending tracing technology allows software developers to record the internal activity of a software system whilst it is running and to trace all executed functions. This leads to the next evolutionary step in debugging and the understanding of system behavior. The solutions are seamlessly integrated into IDEs such as Visual Studio or Eclipse.

Leverage knowledge on the »source code reality«: software engineering data is extracted from complex software systems, analyzed using data mining techniques and then made available as an integrated software intelligence platform for all software development and maintenance processes both in-house and in cooperation with external service providers.

Benefit from valuable decision making information: unlike conventional tools, the products of Software Diagnostics meaningfully combine the assessment of source code, dynamic runtime analysis and code repositories in the form of »software maps«. These enable you to ’see’ a system with its architecture and development processes as a whole and provide decision makers and developers for the first time with valuable information on which to base their software development and maintenance decisions across the entire software system’s life-cycle.
