abstract = {Surprising as it may seem, many of the early adopters
of the object-oriented paradigm already face a number
of problems typically encountered in large-scale
legacy systems. Consequently, reverse engineering
techniques are relevant in an object-oriented context
as well. This paper investigates a hybrid approach,
combining the immediate appeal of visualisations with
the scalability of metrics. We validate such a hybrid
approach by showing how CodeCrawler ---the
experimental platform we built--- allowed us to
understand the program structure of, and identify
potential design anomalies in a public domain
software system.},
