Software Visualization for Reverse Engineering
نویسنده
چکیده
This article describes the Bauhaus tool suite as a concrete example for software visualization in reverse engineering, re-engineering, and software maintenance. Results from a recent survey on software visualization in these domains are reported. According to this survey, Bauhaus can indeed be considered a typical representative of these domains regarding the way software artifacts are visualized. Specific requirements for software visualizations are drawn from both the specific example and the survey.

Towards the Unified Visualization Architecture for Reverse Engineering
Program understanding, which is the acquisition of knowledge about a software system, is vital for all software engineering disciplines. One important aim of software engineering is hence the refinement of the program comprehension process to improve system maintenance effectively. Therefore, within this paper, our aim is to define an unified process for reverse engineering, including program a...
متن کاملAn Open Toolkit for Prototyping Reverse Engineering Visualizations
Maintenance and evolution of complex software systems (such as mobile telephones) involves activities such as reverse engineering (RE) and software visualization. Although several RE tools exist, we found their architecture hard to adapt to the domain and problem specific requirements posed by our current practice in Nokia. In this paper, we present an open architecture which allows easy protot...

متن کاملPattern Visualization for Software Comprehension
Cognitive science emphasizes the strength of visual formalisms for human learning and problem solving. In software engineering, a clear, visual presentation of a system’s architecture can significantly reduce the effort of comprehension. Yet, all too often the documentation of complex software systems lacks clear identification of the architectural constituents and insufficiently relates them t...
