Abstract

Abstract: Large software products are very difficult to understand. One way to cope with this problem is to provide tools generating different software's views. Unfortunately, there are so many different entity types and relationships in a large software product that building a specific tool for each view is not cost effective. This paper presents GSEE, a Generic Software Exploration Environment. GSEE is made of an object-oriented framework and a set of customizable tools. Thanks to this environment, only few lines are needed to produce graphical views from virtually any source of data. GSEE has been successfully applied to improve the understanding of different software artifacts including a multi-million LOC software.
