Diver Is Research
Diver is a part of ongoing research at the Computer Human Interaction Software Engineering Lab (CHISEL) at the University of Victoria. Please see the research page for more info.

Requirements
- Environment: Eclipse SDK, version 3.5 with the Java Development Tools (JDT) installed.
- Java: Java SDK version 6 or higher
- Operating System: Linux, Windows XP SP2 or later*
Recommendations
- Processor: Multi-core system
- Memory: 2GB of RAM or higher
- Permanent Storage: 20GB or higher available to store trace data
*NOTE: Diver uses native C++ code. Currently, it has only been tested on systems running Windows XP and Windows 7. Preliminary testing has been done on the Linux operating system as well, but it is not part of the regular release. The code is portable, and there is no theoretical reason that it can't run on any Java 6-enabled environment. If you would like to help us to expand the number of platforms that Diver can run on, please visit the Diver project page and contribute.
