Visualization

Abstract

We describe an idea of a tool to aid software developers, similar to tracing and software visualization. The tool monitors a running program and log some values of its variables. The exemplary values, chosen by the tool, are later displayed onto the source code. Each variable occurrence in the source code is visualized with a few examples of its runtime values. We are unaware of such a tool implemented already, and the question which values should be selected seems interesting.
