Here, you have to load your code, then populate a moose model and use the tool.

Then do "MoosePanel open", and import your software in Moose by "import from Smalltalk image". When it is imported, select your project in the list on the left of MoosePanel, and select "all model packages" on the list on center. > > Then, you have two choices: > - you can scan all your project: right click on "all model packages" and do DSM. > - or select "all model packages" then select some packages in the next list and right click, do DSM. > > After that, you can perform the survey (with reading of the tutorial).
