Abstract

Dependency Viewer helps to control package dependencies to avoid degeneration of package designs. To this end it computes design quality metrics including stability and abstractness for each Java package and draws the package graph in a way, such that violations of various design principles are immediately visible. In addition Dependency Viewer provides several features to inspect the packages at various levels of details including at the level of source code.
