Variorum

 

In order to for variorum to decrease maintance time it is nessacary to decrease the time it takes for the maintainer to understand how the project is designed.

  • Maintainers need to understand the program at the code and the algorithmic level
  • To facilitate quick understanding it is nesscary to switch between many levels of abstraction

Variorum adds the strengths of existing authoring tools and overcomes some of their deficiencies

  • Use of HTML was previlant in existing tools and methodologies
    • Evident in first two examples
  • All previous attempts lacked walkthrough by the author
