Abstract:
1. A computer-implemented method comprising: generating, at a first hierarchy level of a plurality of hierarchy levels, a first code viewer box (CVB) in a software development environment, wherein source code associated with a particular CVB is defined by a mapping file for a particular hierarchy level and the first CVB includes source code scaled as defined by the mapping file for the first hierarchy level, wherein the mapping file provides a mapping of a specific hierarchy level as a zoom level, a high-level description of the zoom level, and a data location for source code to display for the zoom level as scaled source code associated with the particular hierarchy level; receiving a selection of the zoom level from a graphical controller, wherein the selected zoom level corresponds to a second hierarchy level; scaling, by operation of a computer and as defined by the mapping file, the source code for the second hierarchy level to create newly scaled source code; and generating, based on the received selection, a second CVB at the second hierarchy level including the newly scaled source code.
