Software visualization is a broad research area whose general goal is to enhance and promote the theory, realization, and evaluation of approaches to visually encode and analyze software systems, including software development ...

This paper reviews software visualization focused on the educational environment. Software visualization is a very wide study field, so we have focused on two areas: recursion visualization and parsers' visualization. The ...

Software libraries allow developers to create software projects upon basic functions already implemented. In this way, it is possible to focus on more complex activities to achieve the software solution aims. Software ...

Understanding and optimizing memory usage of software applications is a difficult task, usually involving the analysis of large amounts of memory-related complex data. Over the years, numerous software visualizations have ...

Change Impact Analysis aims to identify parts of a system affected by the proposed change implementation. Although one may find in literature techniques to automate the impact identification process, it is still highly ...

In the context of Software Maintenance, when a source code element must be changed, there is the need to identify if other elements will be affected by the change, in order to keep the code consistent. This identification ...

A goal of the Object-Oriented Programming is to develop software with better modularization and separation of concerns, although tangling and scattering of some of these concerns cannot be prevented. The Aspect-Oriented ...
