eDepend integrates a set of tools to effectively manage and control class & package dependencies. Well controlled code dependencies ensure easy maintenance and evolution of code.



Dependency Inspector view


The Dependency Inspector view is the right companion of the dependency diagram explorer to track unwanted dependencies.

The view displays details on the selected dependency link or on the dependencies of the selected diagram element.
