Abstract

We describe the results of visualizing object oriented programs errors, and utilizing these results in the design of a set of visual queries on the runtime execution history of a program. We bring together under one coherent framework different approaches such as error classification, bug patterns in object oriented programs, and visual queries. Our work is founded on a novel interactive visualization system for Java called JIVE, developed at Buffalo.

We describe a novel approach to runtime visualization of object-oriented programs. Our approach features: visualizations of execution state and history; forward and reverse execution; interactive queries during program execution; and advanced drawing ...
Programs as visual, interactive documents

We present a novel approach to combined textual and visual programming by allowing visual, interactive objects to be embedded within textual source code and segments of source code to be further embedded within those objects. We retain the strengths of ...
Dynamic Query-Based Debugging of Object-Oriented Programs

Program errors are hard to find because of the cause-effect gap between the instant when an error occurs and when the error becomes apparent to the programmer. Although debugging techniques such as conditional and data breakpoints help in finding errors ...
