Abstract
A method and system for summarizing object interactions in an object-oriented software program is disclosed. A plurality of tabular inputs containing information about the object interactions in a software system are input into a computer system. The system then determines object information and interaction information from the input information and generates an object summary from the object information and interaction information. The object summary may comprise an object summary matrix indicating instances of interaction between the objects of the software program and a plurality of message summaries that indicate messages sent from and sent to a particular object of the software program.
