Collapsible Stack Trace

A computer program product stored on a computer-readable medium and including instructions that, when loaded into memory, cause a processor to perform a set of operations, the set of operations comprising:

• receiving user input;
• determining, based on the user input, a complexity level;
• determining a set of one or more simplification heuristics corresponding to the complexity level;
• applying the sot of simplification heuristics to the stack trace to generate a view of the stack trace;
• and
• displaying the view of the stack trace.

A system for displaying a view of a stack trace according to a complexity level, comprising:

• a storage module adapted to store the stack trace on a computer-readable storage medium;
• a complexity level determiner module adapted to:
• receive user input;
• and
• determine, based on the user input, a complexity level;
• a stack trace view creator module adapted to:
• determine a set of one or more simplification heuristics corresponding to the complexity level;
• and
• apply the set of simplification heuristics to the stack trace to generate a view of the stack trace;
• and
• a display module adapted to display the view of the stack trace.
