When designing and developing huge software system, developers are required to fully understand the many intricate functions and vast amounts of data which are involved. However, difficulties arise due to the large size and complexity of the software which is necessary for such a system. To address this problem, a software visualization tool was created in a virtual reality environment. This tool helped to facilitate the tasks involving when programming, testing, and debugging software by enabling the direct manipulation of graphical elements representing the structure and code of the software. This paper describes how methods for software development support are achieved using this tool.
