On the Use of Multiple Views Interactive Environments on Software Comprehension Activities

In spite of the available resources provided by modern IDEs, program
understanding remains as very difficult and important task in software
engineering. This talk presents the concepts of multiple views interactive
environments (MVIEs) and possibilities of its use to foster software
comprehension activities. This talk also discusses and presents results of
studies investigating how MVIEs have been used to support software
comprehension activities such as the identification of code smells and the
characterization of object-oriented software systems.
