SeeSys TM is a system embodying a technique for visualizing statistics associated with code that is divided hierarchically into subsystems, directories, and les. This technique can display t h e relative sizes of the components in the system, the relative stability of the components, the location of new functionality, and the location of error-prone code with many bug xes. Using animation, it can display the historical evolution of the code. Applying this technique, the source code from a m ulti-million line production software product is visualized.
For example, SeeSys applies space-filling techniques to visualize statistics in code that is hierarchically divided into subsystems, directories and files REF .
