Visualizing MDD Projects

Abstract

Visualizing information enables humans to capture, understand, and analyze them in an efficient way. Tools providing such visualization possibilities are omnipresent in software develop- ment processes and still subject to current research. While visualization is widely tried in classical software development, the application to MDD is much less common, but still desperately needed. In this paper we outline an integrated and pervasive visualization approach for artifacts and software engineering tools as well as their static and dynamic dependencies by employing, extending, and combining well established visualization approaches to the MDD domain.
