We report on the state-of-the-art of software visualization. To ensure reproducibility, we
adopted the Systematic Literature Review methodology. That is, we analyzed 1440 entries …

Database management systems (or DBMSs) have been around for decades, and yet are still
difficult to use, particularly when trying to identify and fix errors in user programs (or queries) …

We introduce Code Park, a novel tool for visualizing codebases in a 3D game-like
environment. Code Park aims to improve a programmer's understanding of an existing …

While many large-scale software systems intensively implement variability to reuse software
and speed up development, they often do not document it, hampering its comprehension …

A treemap is a visualization that has been specifically designed to facilitate the exploration
of tree-structured data and, more general, hierarchically structured data. The family of …

This paper provides an overview of published treemap layout algorithms from 1991 to 2019
that were used for information visualization and computational geometry. First, a terminology …

CodeCompass is an open source LLVM/Clang-based tool developed by Ericsson Ltd. and
Eötvös Loránd University, Budapest to help the understanding of large legacy software …

Software maps provide a general-purpose interactive user interface and information display
in software analytics. This paper classifies software maps as a containment-based treemap …

Software visualization techniques provide effective means for program comprehension tasks
as they allow developers to interactively explore large code bases. A frequently encountered …

The architecture of software it not tangible, but in different situations it is preferable to have it
tangible. For example, while reviewing it against the intended design, introducing the …
