Project Objectives • Research the Software Visualisation area in detail. • Allow multiple source code files to be displayed on screen in their analysed form. • Allow the user to click on the analyzed files to display the colour-enhanced source files. • Show the files being compared side by side. • Compare & highlight similar structures, variables etc. in the source code files. • Provide percentage similarity between files. • Other goals which are necessary for successful design and implementation are • Learning of the Software OO Methodology, OMT • Learning of the MS Visual C++ 5 Language with MFC’s
S.V. and O.M.T. • Software Visualisation - the use of graphical text manipulation to help understand the characteristics of programs • Program Visualisation • O.M.T. - Object Modeling Technique • Object Oriented Analysis & Design Technique • Iterative Lifecycle - focus is on analysis and data structures. Testing will be done upon completion of implementation.
Design • The 3 main design issues are • source code analysis • file comparison • the GUI • Source Code Analysis : • The User selects the file to be analysed. • The Scanner reads in the file • generates the analysed coloured pixel representation based on the use of the language constructs in the source code file. • logs the data to an external log file, which is used later in comparison tests. • The program displays the coloured pixel representation on-screen.
Design Open the File Input a line as a string Search the string for any relevant structures / variables If structure or loop construct Move to end of structure or loop construct Add the results to a file information array Log structural information to an external log file Repeat Until EOF Close the file • Scanning Algorithm • File Comparison : • This will entail a comparator scanning through each log file generated for the selected files, creating a resultant text file which will be displayed on-screen with the comparative results.
Design • The Graphical User Interface (GUI) • This will be designed to resemble other Win32 applications. It will provide drop-down menu’s and buttons for the user to work with. It will also allow the user to access a Help File. The interface will be intuitive and understandable. The OMT Dynamic Model will be used to ensure good design of the interface.
