Abstract
Apparatus and methods for the hierarchical display of routine call dependencies in a software program are implemented. A list of routines in a preselected software program is displayed in first and second regions in a window on an display device. By selecting a routine in the list in the first region, one or more routines called by the selected routine are displayed, in a tree hierarchy beneath the selected routine. Selection of a routine in the list in the second region displays, in a tree hierarchy, routines that call the selected routine.
