Abstract

Indicating hierarchy diversion in a class diagram. A class inheritance structure for at least one parent class contained in computer program code can be identified to determine a class hierarchy corresponding to the parent class. For at least one child class in the class hierarchy that is a child of the parent class, a parent-child similarity value corresponding to a parent-child diversion of the child class from the parent class can be calculated via a processor. The class diagram can be generated. The class diagram can indicate at least the parent class, the child class and the parent-child similarity value. The class diagram can be presented.
