Code structure visualization using 3D-flythrough
Roy Oberhauser, Christian Silfang, Carsten Lecon · 2016
As software structures grow, it becomes increasingly difficult for those new to any software source code to conceptualize the mostly invisible structure. Historically program structures have been challenging to visualize. This paper contributes a 3D flythrough approach called FlyThruCode for visualizing facets of program structure. A prototype demonstrates its viability, and an empirical study investigates its effectiveness, efficiency, and motivational factors, showing promise for motivating the exploration of larger software structures.
