....to the bottom of the graph, and high level or application behaviors rise to the top. While this view provides an excellent indication of reuse, it would be difficult to gain much understanding of overall system behavior or class level interaction from its use in isolation. Kleyn and Gingrich [12] address the need for understanding object behavior in order to facilitate code sharing and reusability. A tool is presented for concurrently animating a number of different graph based views of the dynamic behavior of an object oriented program. Structural views include excerpts of the ....

....a method and patching all places where it is invoked. The idea is to combine several low level refactorings to improve the design of a class hierarchy, thus refactorings fit our definition of a round trip engineering. See the Ph.D. work of Opdyke for the early definitions of refactoring [12] and [16] for a description of a fullfledged refactoring tool. Refactorings are applicable in practice, as is illustrated by [4] Data Model Requirements. A refactoring tool is an example of a tool that modifies the source code, thus should know about the exact source code location of data model ....

....contexts, time pressure together with points (a) and (b) lead to plenty of opportunities for code duplication. Although code duplication can have its justifications, it is considered bad practice. Especially during maintenance (estimated at 70 of the overall effort for producing a software system [16]) unjustified duplicated code gives rise to severe problems: a) If one repairs a bug in a system with duplicated code, all possible duplications of that bug must be checked. b) Code duplication increases the size of the code, extending compile time and expanding the size of the executable. c) ....

Many approaches have been discussed as to how a software entity could be represented for program visualisation ( BALL 96, DEPA 93, KLEY 88] to name but a few) We think that a graphical representation of an object oriented entity should be easy to grasp and not make use of a specific dictionary of shapes which has first to be learned.

....particular domain will be able to define new kind of visualisation and animation styles. For example it will be possible to specify the way in which a complex data structure is visualised and animated. In this sense our approach is more powerful than traditional ones like the one in [Stasko94] or [Kleyn88] because it is open ended: different types of users may visualise the same object in rather different ways and we think this is a key feature in CASE environments. Conclusions In this position paper we have discussed the main features of a prototypical CASE environment supporting high level ....

For example, a visualisation system designed for understanding programs may only provide program static structure browsers, and displays of dynamic program execution [2, 8]. A limited number of perspectives mean that the mapping of a program dynamic model to the programmer s mental model is not holistic. A full understanding of a program can be better achieved by presenting different aspects of the program to the programmer. Given these different perspectives, the ....

....no repository for event information that can be queried to construct new views for navigation. Systems for visualizing the execution of object oriented programs have concentrated more on presenting execution information than on organizing and storing it. The GraphTrace system by Kleyn and Gingrich [9] is a tool for visualizing the execution of programs written in Strobe, an object oriented language based on CommonLisp [12] Visualization is done in two passes. First, the system constructs structural views called graphs that represent object invocation graphs or method invocation graphs. The ....

Several algorithm animation and visualization tools have been developed as part of sequential object oriented programming systems [9,16,5]. Each of these object oriented systems draws a representation of an object hierarchy and then animates the view with execution information such as recordings of object activations and method invocations.
