Abstract
Navigating through software is an integral part of software development. Studies have identified that during navigation programmers often become disoriented and lose task awareness. To mitigate this, the method-flow visualisation technique displays traversed methods in adjacent editor columns. This paper presents the Visuocode software development environment, which is an implementation of method-flow that, in addition to navigation, supports program composition.
