The AppMap team has introduced automatic, interactive sequence diagrams for Java applications in the IntelliJ IDE. Sequence diagrams are powerful for visualizing and understanding runtime behaviors, making them one of the best tools for discussing code design. AppMap can now generate sequence diagrams automatically from any running Java application. Once you generate your own sequence diagrams, you can easily click on any function call in the sequence to inspect the code. All function call durations are shown, so you can quickly see where your code is spending the most time doing its processing. Install the AppMap plugin and library, run your application or tests, and open the generated AppMap to view the sequence diagram.
