Detecting Cycles using DSM

Jannik Laval

Enriched Dependencies Structure Matrix (eDSM) is a tool used to detect and to provide information to break cycles between packages of a system. It offers enriched cells showing contextual information information about the kinds of references made (inheritance, class accesses ldots), the proportion of referencing entities and the proportion of referenced entities. It uses coloring information to an easier detection. This work has been implemented on top of the Moose reengineering environment and the Mondrian visualization framework.
