Not yet... though to be fair I haven't put much time into looking for one. I'm just real careful when making state machines.

You are right, care should be taken when creating state machines but it can get out of hand e.g. it becomes a state machine within a state machine within a state machine with each state machine having really a huge number of states each with really numerous number of entry and exit conditions. I haven't seen any white paper addressing this complexity issue. A visualization tool is necessary for this kind of software engine implementation that I think the original writer of this thread need to be aware of when he was looking for software tools. Think of it as a CAD/CAE tools for implementing complex software state machines. Seen MATLAB Stateflow or SGV sarc Crystal flow. Any feedbacks regarding these tools or other tools?
