FLINTS Incomming and Outgoing Dependencies

If you expand the symbol within the ‘Incoming Dependencies’ panel you will be presented with a list of folders. Each of these files has an incoming dependency with the feature you have selected. It will also allow you to view the relationships both in and out of these files. The ‘Outgoing Dependencies’ panel contains similar information, only it lists dependencies that are outgoing. The panel located on the top-left of the screen contains the incoming dependencies for the selected package. It is important to not that the list of files shown is not a list of all of the files in the folder, it’s only the files that have a direct relationship to the feature we have selected. You’ll notice that some of the files and folders are bolded. The bolding is based on an algorithm which looks at the amount of outgoing or incoming calls, the sensitivity of which can be adjusted by the ‘Algorithm Sensitivity’ bar at the top. As you slide to the right you will see more and more of the dependencies become bolded and as you slide to the left, less and less of them become bolded.
