High-Level Static and Dynamic Visualization of Software Architectures
نویسندگان
چکیده
Developing software architectures for complex software applications is challenging, and requires good static and dynamic visualisation support. We describe the visual software architecture modelling visual language we have developed and its support in the SoftArch environment. Static software architecture views are developed using this language, and designs and implementations developed from these specifications. Static views are copied, animated and annotated to visualise running system architecture characteristics. This approach provides better static modelling and dynamic visualisation of software architectures, at varying levels of abstraction, than do other current techniques.

Visualizing Software Architecture with Off-The-Shelf Components
Software Architecture provides a high-level model of the components and connectors that comprise a complex system. Visualizing both its static description and dynamic execution facilitates understanding of its key properties by software architects. Off-the-shelf components provide a rich foundation on which an advanced architecture visualization tool can be constructed. This paper discusses our...

متن کاملInteractive 3-D Visualization of Feature-traces
The maintenance or reengineering of an object-oriented system includes its reverse engineering. In other words its internal structure and behavior needs to be understood. Many researchers have proposed different techniques to support the reverse engineering effort. The two predominant approaches to reverse engineering are: • static analysis of source code • dynamic analysis of behavior of a sys...
متن کاملModeling Dynamic Architectures Using Dy-BIP
Dynamic architectures in which interactions between components can evolve during execution, are essential for modern computing systems such as web-based systems, reconfigurable middleware, wireless sensor networks and fault-tolerant systems. Currently, we lack rigorous frameworks for their modeling, development and implementation. We propose Dy-BIP a dynamic extension of the BIP component frame...
متن کاملAutomatic Visualization of Program Tasks in Code Bubbles
We provide a high-level, on-line visualization of the behavior of a complex, reactive Java program in terms that are familiar to the programmer. The visualization is part of the Code Bubbles integrated development environment. It is generated automatically by the environment without any effort by the developer. Code Bubbles performs static and dynamic analysis of the program. The dynamic analys...
