Shimba, a prototype reverse engineering environment, has been built to support the understanding of Java software. Shimba uses Rigi and SCED to analyze, visualize, and explore the...
We describe a system for gathering and analyzing Java trace data. The system provides relatively complete data collection from large Java systems. It also provides a variety of di...
A memory leak in a Java program occurs when object references that are no longer needed are unnecessarily maintained. Such leaks are difficult to understand because static analyse...
In this paper a new approach for a metrics based software visualization is presented which supports an efficient and effective quality assessment of large object-oriented software...
During initial program comprehension, software engineers could benefit from knowing the most need-to-beunderstood classes in the system under study in order to kick-start their s...
