Execution Patterns in Object-Oriented VisualizationWim De Pauw, David Lorenz,John Vlissides, and Mark Wegman IBM T.J. Watson Research Center AbstractExecution patterns are a new metaphor for visualizing execution traces of object-oriented programs. We present an execution pattern view that lets a programmer visualize and explore a program's execution at varied levels of abstraction. The view employs visual, navigational, and analytical techniques that accommodate lengthy, real-world traces. By classifying repetitive behavior automatically into high-order execution patterns, we drastically reduce the information a programmer must assimilate, with little loss of insight. |
