ABSTRACT
Writing highly maintainable and efficient software code is becoming increasingly difficult, especially while following the rapid, agile development process and working in a distributed team. One of the key indicators of that inefficient software design is a high degree of code coupling, which leads to unwanted side-effects during refactoring and acts as a burden during future development. To alleviate these problems, we developed a visualization tool, ADA, that statically analyzes an open-source repository and seeks to address the issue of code coupling by providing developers with a powerful graphic representation. ADA showcases the relationships and the degree of inter-connectivity between the classes. ADA will ultimately guide developers to instantly locate the coupled area and assist them in decoupling it.
