A Scalable Visualization for Dynamic Data in Software System Hierarchies

摘要: Software systems can grow large, consisting of thousands hierarchically organized elements like directories, subdirectories, files, and functions. Moreover, those hierarchy carry additional information worth investigating for a software developer. Getting an overview both the attached static or dynamic data become tedious task if it is not supported by visually scalable visualization technique. In this paper, we use based on visual metaphor indentation to generate system easily attach attributes. The extra aligned with and, hence, supports comparisons attachments different levels hierarchical granularity. Through interaction, provide views data, e.g., filtering, transformations, details-on-demand. We illustrate usefulness our technique means application example exploring from open-source project jEdit. investigated readability user experiment, comparing node-link diagrams varying sizes hierarchy.
