Visual Tools for Software Architecture Understanding: A Stakeholder Perspective

This paper is talking about visual tools for understanding software architecture.Software visualisation tool operates as a pipeline.They mine data from various sources and then analyse the data using various techniques like static analyzers, text miners, repository access clients, and database clients. A refined-fact database stores the analysis results, using an entity-relationship.
