Abstract :
Software visualization is one of the enabling techniques to provide support during software maintenance activities. Software maintenance is a multidimensional problem domain which involves the integration, abstraction and analysis of different knowledge resources and artifacts. Maintainers are typically left with no guidance on how these existing artifacts, tools and knowledge should be utilized to complete a particular task. In this research, we present a novel visualization approach that integrates these artifacts in the software maintenance process chain.
