STAN, the leading Eclipse-based structure analysis tool for Java, brings together development and quality assurance in a natural way.

STAN encourages developers and project managers in visualizing their design, understanding code, measuring quality and reporting design flaws.

STAN supports a set of carefully selected metrics, suitable to cover the most important aspects of structural quality. Special focus has been set on visual dependency analysis, a key to structure analysis.

STAN seamlessly integrates into the development process. That way, developers take care about design quality right from the start. Project managers use STAN as a monitoring and reporting tool.

Utilizing STAN has several clear benefits:

• Structure analysis helps in understanding code as well as keeping code understandable.
• Dependency analysis provides sophisticated design diagrams.
• Design flaws will be detected early, where it's still easy to fix them.
  
• Expressive metrics are supported to ensure compliance with design principles.
• Highly customizable metric ratings allow the creation of individual quality profiles.
• Ranking metric violations helps to focus on most relevant issues.
• Reports provide all the essential information at a quick glance.
• Seamless Eclipse integration makes structure analysis available where needed mostly.
