Abstract

This article describes the Bauhaus tool suite as a concrete example for software visualization in reverse engineering, re-engineering, andsoft ware maintenance. Results from a recent survey on software visualization in these domains are reported. According to this survey, Bauhaus can indeed be considered a typical representative of these domains regarding the way software artifacts are visualized. Specific requirements for software visualizations are drawn from both the specific example and the survey.
