Developments with complex file creation, modification history (origin), and software architecture (functional layer) are increasing in OSS-based development. As an example, here we focus on an Android smart phone development project and propose new visualization techniques for product metrics based on the file origin and functional layers. One is the Metrics Area Figure, which can express duplication of edits by multiple organizations intuitively using overlapping figures. The other is Origin City, which was inspired by Code City. It can represent the scale and other measurements, while simultaneously stacking functional layers as 3D buildings.","PeriodicalId":122979,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE Working Conference on Software Visualization (VISSOFT)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-12-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122706799","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Automatic methods are only appropriate to identify parallelism at instruction level or within simple loops. For most applications, however, a scalable redesign require profound comprehension of the underlying software architecture and its dynamic aspects. This leads to an increasing demand for interactive tools that foster parallelization at various granularity levels. To cope with this problem, we propose a visualization framework, and three tailored views for parallelism detection. The framework is part of Parceive, a tool that utilizes dynamic binary instrumentation to trace C/C++ and C# programs. The cooperative views allow identification and analysis of potential parallelism scenarios using seamless navigation, abstraction, and filtering. In this paper, we motivate our approach, illustrate the architecture of the visualization framework, and highlight the key features of the views. A case study demonstrates the usefulness of Parceive.","PeriodicalId":122979,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE Working Conference on Software Visualization (VISSOFT)","volume":"31 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131938795","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Our tool assists programmers by reducing large call graphs into smaller subgraphs with function relationships that matter for program comprehension. In our benchmarks, we view and explore code relationships in programs with 18,720 functions at interactive frame rates. We provide two use cases with several findings on investigating profile-guided optimizations in C++ and critical sections in concurrent Java programs.

However, data-intensive applications nowadays tend to access their underlying database in an increasingly dynamic way. The queries that they send to the database server are usually built at runtime, through String concatenation, or Object-Relational-Mapping (ORM) frameworks. This level of dynamicity significantly complicates the task of adapting programs to an evolving database schema. In this paper, we present DAHLIA 2.0, an interactive visualization tool that allows developers to analyze the database usage in order to support data-intensive software evolution and more precisely, program-database co-evolution.","PeriodicalId":122979,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE Working Conference on Software Visualization (VISSOFT)","volume":"46 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125431301","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Over two decades of research and practice can attest to the substantial benefits of applying SPL practices such as better customization, improved software reuse, and faster time to market. Typical SPLs involve large number of features which are combined to form also large numbers of products, implemented using multiple and different types of software artifacts. Because of the sheer amount of information and its complexity visualization techniques have been used at different stages of the life cycle of SPLs. In this paper we present a systematic mapping study on this subject. Our research questions aim to gather information regarding the techniques that have been applied, at what stages, how they were implemented, and the publication fora employed. Our goal is to identify common trends, gaps, and opportunities for further research and application.","PeriodicalId":122979,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE Working Conference on Software Visualization (VISSOFT)","volume":"11 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121271880","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Most profilers only show the average time of execution or the total time a method contributes to the overall program's execution time. Most profilers do not explain or show why different control paths within a method executed may have resulted in variable execution times. When debugging concurrent programs for performance problems, the complexity and variability in execution time can potentially be even greater. In this paper we take a first step in visualizing individual method's different execution paths within multithreaded Java programs. We restrict our domain to looking at critical sections for this initial analysis, as variability in critical sections may cause more noticeable performance variation. Our software visualization tool, Critical Section Investigator (CSI), builds on the visualization and interaction techniques in previous works like KCachegrind with several enhancements. The result of our work is the first tool to our knowledge that visually shows potential performance differences in synchronized methods in Java programs using a profiling and storytelling structure.","PeriodicalId":122979,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE Working Conference on Software Visualization (VISSOFT)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134007989","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

By only counting commits and number of lines changed, existing tools that visualize source code repositories (such as GitHub's graphs) fall short on showing the effective contributions made by each developer. When many commits are viewed as a group, the details are lost. Commit information can be misleading since lines of code give no indication of what was actually being worked on without careful examination of the changed code. Providing a semantic view of this information could provide deeper insights into how software projects evolve since changes to design and features are not clearly visible from line changes alone. We present TypeV: a method for visualizing Java source code repositories. Instead of counting line changes in a commit we extract detailed type information over time by using the differences between abstract syntax trees (ASTs). We are then able to track the additions and deletions of declarations and invocations for each type. Furthermore, we can track each author's type usage over time. Using TypeV, we examine specific cases in well-known repositories where our tool reveals interesting and useful information. We then compare type coverage information from the AST compared to file coverage to determine if unique information is provided by type information.","PeriodicalId":122979,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE Working Conference on Software Visualization (VISSOFT)","volume":"9 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122255239","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Several approaches have been suggested for computing slices based on different perspectives, including forward slicing, backward slicing, static slicing, and dynamic slicing. The applications of slicing are numerous, including testing, effort estimation, and impact analysis. Surprisingly, given the maturity of slicing, few approaches exist for visualizing slices. In this paper, we present our tool for visualizing large systems based on program slicing and through two visualization idioms: treemaps and bipartite graphs. In particular, we use treemaps to facilitate slicing-based navigation, and we use bipartite graphs to facilitate visual impact analysis by displaying relationships among system decomposition slices showing the relevant computations involving a given slicing variable. We believe our tool will support various software maintenance tasks, including providing analysts an interactive visualization of the impact of potential changes, thus allowing them to plan maintenance accordingly. Finally, we show that, through the use of both existing scalable slicing and scalable visualization approaches, our tool can facilitate analysis of large software systems.","PeriodicalId":122979,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE Working Conference on Software Visualization (VISSOFT)","volume":"42 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121515785","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
