Abstract
This paper presents a tool named CRISTA that supports code comprehension through the application of stepwise abstraction. It uses a visual metaphor to represent the code and supports essential tasks for code reading, inspection and documentation. As code comprehension is time consuming, a tool can greatly improve such activity.
