Abstract :
The design navigator is a tool for reverse-engineering object-oriented programs into charts at any level of abstraction. The design navigator discovers the object-oriented building blocks in the design of programs and visualises them in terms of LePUS3, a formal design description language. We demonstrate that program visualization in a formal language is not only possible in principle but also of practical benefit.
