Abstract: A method for visualizing and testing a sequence of a software code that includes instructions relating to assignment of variables, and decision branches. The method comprises the steps of generating a plurality of nodes, edges and text indications that correspond to the instructions in the software code. A plurality of pointers are then generated to associate the location of at least one line of the software code to at least one of the generated nodes. The pointers may also associate the location of a line in the software code to at least one of the generated edges. The method then displays a flow chart representing the generated nodes, and edges and text indications, so that the software code can be visualized. When a user selects a node or an edge in the displayed flow chart, a corresponding portion of the software code is also identified.
