Abstract :
A major portion of the maintenance effort is spent trying to understand existing software. If we can learn more about how programmers understand code successfully, we can build better tools to support this understanding process. An effective maintenance tool must help in code comprehension and support the code understanding process. We present an integrated comprehension model and a technique for developing detailed tool capability requirements
