Description

The program understanding task is usually time and effort consuming. In a traditional way the code is inspected line by line by the user without any kind of help. But this becomes impossible for large systems. Some software systems were created in order to generate automatically explanations, metrics, statistics and visualizations to describe the syntax and the semantic of programs. These kind of tools are Program Comprehension systems. One of the most important feature used in this kind of tool is the software visualization. We feel that would be very useful to define criterion to evaluate visualization systems that are used for program comprehension. The main objective of this paper is to describe and discuss a set of evaluation parameters for this kind of systems.
