The Exploration view offers the possibility of using a tree representation to learn about the structure and interdependencies among the structural elements of the software system :
Typical questions are:
-
What are the dependencies between some layers, subsystems, packages or types?
-
What is the reason for some unexpected dependency?
-
How can one decouple a given pair of package trees?
-
Where is package X or file Y located in the package tree?
The exploration view provides a number of means supporting you to:
-
Get an overview of your software system on a high abstraction level.
-
Drill down to answer specific questions.
-
Zoom in and out of the Sonargraph model tree by expanding and collapsing nodes.
-
Define focus so that irrelevant information is hidden.
