Legacy software documents are hard to understand and visualize. The tag cloud technique helps software developers to visualize the contents of software documents. A tag cloud is a well-known and simple visualization technique. This paper proposes a new method to visualize software documents, using a tag cloud. In this paper, tags visualize in the cloud based on their frequency in an alphabetical order. The most important tags are displayed with a larger font size. The originality of this method is that it visualizes the contents of JavaDoc as a tag cloud. To validate the JavaDocCloud method, it was applied to NanoXML case study, the results of these experiments display the most common and uncommon tags used in the software documents.
翻译：传统软件文档难以理解和可视化。 标签云技术帮助软件开发者对软件文档的内容进行可视化。 标签云是一种众所周知的简单可视化技术。 本文提出了一个使用标签云的软件文档可视化新方法。 在本文中, 标记根据其频率按字母顺序在云中可视化。 最重要的标记显示的字体大小更大。 这种方法的原创性在于它将JavaDoc的内容作为标签云。 为了验证 JavaDocCloud 方法, 将它应用到 NanoXML 案例研究中, 这些实验的结果显示了软件文档中使用的最常见和最不常见的标记 。
