Abstract
Various ways of categorizing software visualization tools have been developed in the past. This paper presents a hybrid tools requirements classification for tool developers that builds onto the previous taxonomies and research results. Ten software visualization tools that differ in their functionalities are then measured on the categorization in order to show the extent to which they fulfill the requirements that are desired by tool users. It is not an extensive in-depth coverage of the tools but a comparison of the tools with the perceived requirements in an effort to address the tool adoption issue.
