Visual Expert AI combines traditional code analysis with artificial intelligence to deliver advanced code understanding, and smart refactoring.
VE AI launched with 5 core macros:
Visual Expert 2026 introduces advanced schema-level dependency analysis for Oracle and SQL Server projects to help teams better understand interactions across schemas and databases.
Visual Expert 2026 introduces two new features for schema-level dependency analysis:
Visual Expert Shared Documents helps development teams centralize, organize, and collaborate on technical documentation directly inside Visual Expert Web.
VE Notifications help development teams stay informed about important project events directly inside Visual Expert Web. Track analysis updates, shared documents, comments, approvals, and collaboration activities through a centralized notification system.
Learn how to configure notification channels, manage user notifications, and improve collaboration workflows across distributed development teams.
The Documentation Dashboard now offers an interactive treemap view. Each tile represents an object category — the larger the tile, the more objects it contains. Click a tile to browse all items in that category, or hover to see the item count. A practical way to get an instant overview of large projects.
VE Web security has been updated across several fronts: SQL injection protections reinforced, TLS/SSL upgraded to current standards, access control management tightened, and password policies strengthened to support stricter authentication requirements. All improvements are transparent to end users.
Visual Expert 2026 supports PowerBuilder 2025 source code. Code Inspection rules have been updated to ensure accurate analysis of PB 2025 projects.
Learn how to extract and analyze a database data model using DDL files when direct database access is not available. This approach enables full schema analysis even in restricted or secured environments.
