Abstract

The development of pedagogically sound learning tools using software visualization (SV) techniques has been a very popular area of research. In this paper we will conduct a qualitative comparison of a few such tools with an emphasis on data structure visualization. There are numerous tools available in academia to aid in the instruction of introductory level data structures. In this paper, we will evaluate a representative sample of these tools using Price's SV taxonomy and suggest improvements that can be incorporated in future work.
