Abstract
In this paper a tool is described which employs a variety of XML technologies to enable Java object oriented source code applications to be visualised. The tool utilises various complexity metrics which have been rendered visually using effective graphical metaphors. The evaluation of the tool in a commercial setting is described and the results of its use by several development teams are presented. The work demonstrates the feasibility and strengths of using XML in visualising software.
