Abstract

A well structured design is an essential feature in the development of a software system. Assessment of the design throughout the development process is therefore an important task. However, it can be a difficult and highly subjective process. We present tools to assist in the evaluation of designs of Ada systems. These tools furnish two different abstract views of the system structure, one focusing on control flow and the other on data coupling. We identify the effect of three classes of design methodologies on these views, and discuss how to use the views to facilitate design assessment.
