Software visualization is the use of computer graphics and animation to help illustrate and present computer programs, processes, and algorithms. Software visualization systems can be used in teaching to help students understand how algorithms work, and they can be used in program development as a way to help programmers understand their code better. In the GVU Center and the College of Computing, we had a graduate course (before the change from quarters to semesters), CS 7390, specifically on Software Visualization. A number of research projects on software visualization and related topics also are underway in the Center.
