Abstract: ADADL is an Ada-based Program Design Language. The ADADL processor analyzes Ada programs (both executable Ada code and PDL pseudo-code) in order to produce documentation which describes the design at any stage of development. The ADADL processor consists of over 25 software tools which produce such reports as the following reports.

Reports

• Pretty-print design and source code
• Program unit invocation tree
• Type cross reference report
• Object cross reference report
• Generic instantiation report
• Data dictionary
• Areas of the design which are To Be Defined (TBD)

Up to ten additional user-defined project management reports can be used to identify such items as the following items.

Items

• Requirements traceability to the program units
• Identification of areas which have been revised
• Responsible designers, etc.

The cycllomatic complexity of both the pseudo-code design and the executable Ada code is analyzed and reported for each program unit.

The designer does not need to have access to an Ada compiler to use ADADL or the ADADL processor. However, designs expressed in ADADL are fully compilable using any Ada compiler.
