Re: About Call Graph

Responding to Sameer...

What is call graph?
I created documentation for my Java project using dOxygen tool.
It creates call graphs for functions. Is it a term related to C++ only?

The term dates from procedural development days where it provided a graph of how procedures called one another. It is still relevant for OOPL code since the OOPLs are 3GLs and, consequently, still fundamentally procedural. However, ...

I did not find any reference about it. Please provide link for
explanation.
Is it an UML diagram? If not what may be the corresponding UML diagram
(activity diagram?)?

The equivalent in UML is an Interaction Diagram (Sequence or Collaboration). But usually one does not display getter/setter calls or calls to private methods. IOW, the Interaction Diagram in UML focuses on the basic behavioral flow of control of the overall solution.
