Abstract

The paper describes a demonstration of the SHriMP visualization tool. SHriMP provides a flexible and customizable environment for exploring software programs. It supports the embedding of multiple views, both graphical and textual within a nested graph display of a program´s software architecture. SHriMP has recently been redesigned and reimplemented using Java Bean components. These APIs allow SHriMP to be easily integrated with other software understanding tools. The article demonstrates the use of SHriMP for exploring and browsing Java programs
