  • Abstract
    This work proposes a tool for understanding feature scattering through the graphical visualization of the intersection between features and source code. The tool collects trace events of multi-threaded programs for selected features and shows matrices that help analyzing where those features are implemented. Our claim is that the tool reduces the effort to identify where features are implemented and which source code is specific to a feature.
