Work in progress. The paper from the doctoral consortium at ICSOFT 2022 explains the motivation behind the project.

Slicito

Slice your code into edible pieces

Understanding a complex codebase is time-consuming and difficult. Slicito aims to be a toolbox which you can use to make this task much faster and simpler. Currently, it serves only for simple visualisations of project structure, but more features are on their way.

Sample usage

Compile the solution:

dotnet build Slicito.sln

Install the extension Polyglot Notebooks to VS Code and open the notebook samples/notebooks/NamespaceHierarchy.ipynb. When you execute its first cell, an image similar to this should appear:

Sample hierarchy of Slicito itself

It shows the namespaces of Slicito itself, and allows you to navigate through its structure. If you have an instance of Microsoft Visual Studio opened, the elements you click in the schema will be shown to you there. Replace the reference to Slicito.csproj with your C# project to inspect the structure of your code. You can also extract and visualize dependencies as shown in the second cell of the sample notebook.

Plans

  • Make turning code into graphs as straightforward as possible.
  • Document all the provided abstraction and visualization techniques.
  • Use advanced techniques from AskTheCode to reason precisely about program behaviour.

Disclaimer

There has been no release of the tool yet. Therefore, the public interface is currently under rapid development, and as such, it can change without warning.
