Abstract
A method for analyzing changes in a software code may have the steps of: inputting a plurality of different versions of a plurality of software artifacts to a change analysis device, deriving design constructs of the software code of the software artifacts by using an abstract syntax tree analysis, with the software code differences between the different versions of each of the software artifacts, classifying the derived design constructs of each of the software artifacts according to the compared software code differences, and outputting a visualization of the design constructs of each of the software artifacts, which visualization is structured according to the classification of the design constructs.
