Abstract :
After a brief overview, eight tools to help the maintenance programmer analyze and understand code are described in separate presentations. All of them are code-visualization tools. However, while all these tools show how a program is structured, they use different means to achieve different ends. The tools covered are: Objective-C Browser; Vifor; Seela; Battle Map; Act; Grasp/Ada; Expert Dataflow and Static Analysis; Surgeon´s Assistant; and Dependency Analysis Tool Set;.<>
