Lexient's main product is a code analyzer called Surveyor.

Surveyor helps reduce the costs associated with development activities by instantly providing developers with the information they need to rapidly understand their source code. It fosters collaboration between team members, and provides facilities for instantly answering development questions that used to take weeks. Surveyor's thorough code analysis mechanisms lead to a reduction in integration, maintenance, and conversion project timelines of 20-50%, and an ROI of less than 30 days.

Some of Surveyor's features include:

		Support for several popular languages, include C/C++, Java, VB/VB.NET
		For C/C++, supports over 25 compiler/operating system combinations Code Analyzer Compiler List
		Multiple code analysis modes, including:
		Browse - click on project or code entities like files, classes, functions, or variables to see how entities are related to others in the project - whatever you click on becomes the focal point of all of Surveyor's views, including metrics, use, flow chart, code editor, and other windows Example Structure - a means of completely configuring the information displayed in the graphical map, which enables you to better understand a chain of execution, the impact of code changes, how well test cases exercised your code, and so on. Example UML - shows navigable UML diagrams for the current project, either by classes or files. These help to understand the interfaces, collaborations, and relationships of your existing code, and include information about inheritance/generalization, aggregation, as well as associations. Example Control Flow - shows the sequence and conditionality of function calls and variable usage in code Example
		Multiple display windows, including:
		Graph Window - pictorially represents specific symbols and how they relate to each other. Enables you to visualize the structure and dependencies inherent in your code. Example List Window - describes various characteristics, (such as physical location, metrics, or scope) about entities present in your code. Example File Browser - provides navigation capabilities, and also shows relationships, metrics, and members for that particular file. Example Class Browser - provides navigation capabilities, and also shows relationships, metrics, and members for that particular class. Example File Editor - provides a variety of features to help you efficiently read, navigate, and edit your software, or your current editor can be integrated with Surveyor. Example Use Browser - helps you understand where and how a particular symbol is used. The source code for all the uses of a particular symbol can be displayed, and usage types can be filtered out. Example Grep Tool - enables you to locate text strings in your source code, and allows you to scope your search, see the results in context, and quickly and easily navigate to the source files containing the strings. Flow Chart - provides control flow/program logic diagrams, and is tightly linked with your designated file editor to enhance navigation. Example Metrics Tool - provides sortable quantitative measurements of your code, at the file, class, function, or variable level. Example Reports - several reports are available, showing for example an overview and inventory of files or classes in a project. Example Information Overlay - this provides additional, detailed information about a particular symbol, including the type, scope, file location, and associated metrics. Example
		A variety of querying facilities
		Select - identifying symbols that meet certain criteria, thereby controlling what is highlighted in the various display windows Find - enables you to search for symbols based on the symbols' attributes. Attributes range from fundamental descriptions of the symbol, such as the name and type, to less essential characteristics, such as the symbol's file location and when that file was last changed. Traverse functions - enables you to automate the process of tracing relationships between symbols. For example, intersections between two functions would show the ancestors or descendants that the selected symbols have in common. Grouping functions - enables you to simplify a complex code model by condensing symbols together. For example, to see the relationships between two applications, condense all of the functions of one applications into a single group, and see the call relationships between it and the other. Filter functions - enables you to simplify a complex code model by hiding symbols from the display. For example, all local variables, or library functions could be hidden by adjusting the filter. AutoQuery - for help in learning how to perform queries, or to perform common queries with a few keystrokes. Example
		Automatically create comprehensive documentation
		Documentation includes overviews, extracted comments, use, navigable cross reference diagrams, dependencies, metrics, flow charts, and archived versions of code present in the project. Sample Documentation Files, classes, functions, library functions, macros, variables, types, and predefined types are included in the documentation. File formats include HTML, RTF, ASCII
		Surveyor will build an extensive metadatabase which contains information to help you analyze your source code
		Symbols supported include directories, files, classes, functions, macros, variables, and data types.   Relationships supported include aggregates, base classes, calls, contains, declares, depends on, has friend, has type, includes, links to, overridden by, read and sets. More Info Attributes are specific to the type of symbol they describe, but always include the type, scope, and line number of the code where the symbol is defined or declared. In addition, dozens of metrics are calculated to better understand and improve the quality of your code. More Info
