Workshop on graphical documentation for programmers
Scott Tilley, Ken Wong · 2002
Programmers often use graphical forms of documentation that rely on software visualization techniques to make complicated information easier to understand. However, it is an open question exactly which types of graphical documentation are most suitable for which types of program understanding tasks (and in which specific usage contexts). This workshop will focus on this issue by exploring the suitability of three classes of graphical documentation (static, interactive, and editable) for selected program understanding tasks that are representative of common software maintenance and evolution scenarios. This workshop is a sequel to the workshop "Documentation for Software Engineers: What is Needed to Aid System Understanding?" which took place at SIGDOC 2001.
