Runtime Visualisation of Object Oriented Software

Software is inherently dynamic, yet much of the analysis and comprehension processes focus entirely on the static source code of the software. This paper looks at how software visualisation offers a way to aid comprehension by displaying both static and dynamic aspects of a piece of software. A new visualisation is presented with specific focus on a class level summary view.
