HyperSoft system: tool demonstration and use example

Abstract

HyperSoft is an approach for satisfying the information needs of software maintainers. HyperSoft combines the notions of automated program analysis and hypertext techniques. HyperSoft system is the implementation of the approach. It is targeted at supporting the comprehension of large programs and has been developed in cooperation with software industry. HyperSoft produces automatically transient access structures, which deliver to the users the needed information. Access structures are presented to the users via various textual, hypertextual, structural and graphical views. This paper and tool demonstration describe the tool use and applied interaction techniques.
