Diver: Dynamic Interactive Views for Reverse Engineering

Diver is a dynamic analysis tool for Java that integrates scalable sequence diagram views with an interactive trace-focused UI in Eclipse. Diver provides sophisticated debugging support for understanding and exploring features of interest.

Through a series of plugins for Eclipse, Diver allows you to:

• easily record and capture traces of your running program;
• interactively visualize, filter and share sequence diagrams of the captured traces;
• selectively focus core Eclipse views on the traced code; and
• seamlessly navigate between sequence diagrams and the trace-focused source code views.

Diver has a rich set of innovative features that include:

• software reconnaissance to support drilling into code that is specific to a feature of interest;
• support for tracing only when certain breakpoints are reached in debug mode;
• easy to configure filters that can be applied before, during or after trace capture and visualization; and
• advanced sequence diagram features for compressing loops and navigating dynamic traces within a timeline.
