Visually Localizing Design Problems with Disharmony Maps

The document discusses the concept of 'disharmony maps' in software design, exploring how to visually identify and localize design problems within code. It presents research on design principles, heuristics, and patterns, emphasizing issues like 'god classes' and 'feature envy' that hinder good software design. The authors propose using visualization techniques inspired by city planning to optimize software architecture and address common design flaws.
