Visual exploration of program structure, dependencies and metrics with SolidSX
Dennie Reniers, Lucian Voinea, Alexandru Cristian Telea · 2011
We present SolidSX, an visual analysis tool for code structure, dependencies, and metrics. Our tool facilitates the understanding of large program code bases by simplifying the entire pipeline from data acquisition up to visualization and interactive querying. Secondly, SolidSX is an easy to use, scalable, and configurable visualization component for compound attributed graphs extracted by third-party tools, easy to integrate by developers in their own applications. We detail the architecture and functions of SolidSX, present examples for its two use-cases, and outline insights collected from tool usage in academia and industry.
