ABSTRACT

Visualization tools that target helping developers understand software have typically had visual scalability limitations, requiring significant input before providing useful results. In contrast, we present Strata, which has been designed to actively help users by providing layered diagrams. The defaults used are based on the package structure, and user interactions can allow for overriding these defaults and focusing on relevant parts of the codebase.
