Methods and systems consistent with the present invention (FIG.2,200, 202, 204, 206, 208) provide an improved software development tool that represents multiple dependencies between a dependent node and a defining node (Fig. 22A, 2202, 2203, 2204, 2206, 2208, 2210, 2212, 2214, Fig. 22B, 2216, 2218, 2220, 2222) in a project as a single dependency link. Figs. 22A and 22B, depict a flow diagram illustrating an exemplary process performed by a software development tool to graphically represent multiple dependencies between two nodes in a project as a single dependency link, as disclosed on page 32 of the specification. Moreover, methods and systems consistent with the present invention also identify and display details regarding each dependency in a project upon request by the user (Fig. 28A, 2802, 2804, 2806, 2808, 2810, 2812, 2814, 2816, 2818, 2820, Fig. 28B, 2822, 2824, Fig. 28C, 2826, 2828, 2830, 2832, 2834, 2836, 2838, 2840). Figs. 28A, 28B, and 28C, depict a flow diagram illustrating an exemplary process performed by the software development tool to identify and display the specific elements and usage that result in each dependency between a dependent node and a defining node, as disclosed on page 38 of the specification.
