“…ChronoTwigger targets to visualize co-evolution of software and test files to better understand the relationship between the software development and testing processes. Dershem et al [13] proposed a java based tool to visualize class's components with their relationships. The goal was to simplify the comprehension of the objectoriented models.…”

Software visualization can play a vital role in reducing testing efforts. It can be utilized to help testers in understanding the testing status of the code. This paper proposes a visualization technique to model the results of test cases that applied on object oriented code elements. The proposed visualization help testers to understand and to keep track on test cases and their tested code elements. Five views are proposed to cover different code levels; method, class, package, UML and system. A tool has been developed to automatically manage the software testing process and to generate the data model for the proposed visualizations. The evaluation results showed that the proposed views are useful and helpful in understanding the testing results.

Visual YACC is a tool that automatically creates visualizations of the YACC LR parsing process and synthesized attribute computation. The Visual YACC tool works by instrumenting a standard YACC grammar with graphics calls that draw the appropriate data structures given the current actions by the parser. The new grammar is processed by the YACC tools and the resulting parser displays the parse stack and parse tree for every step of the parsing process of a given input string.Visual YACC was initially designed to be used in compiler construction courses to supplement the teaching of parsing and syntax directed evaluation. We have also found it to be useful in the difficult task of debugging YACC grammars. In this paper, we describe this tool and how it is used in both contexts. We also detail two different implementations of this tool: one that produces a parser written in C with calls to Motif; and a second implementation that generates Java source code.
