Software libraries are important and commonly used for allowing developers to use basic functions already implemented and to focus on complex activities directly related to the business rules of the software being developed. In addition, the availability of libraries on the Internet facilitates their mass use. However, there may be problems in software development regarding the use of various libraries developed by third parties, since they are independent projects that will work together. This work presents the LibViews, a software for visualization of software projects and their dependencies; And analysis of each library used through metrics that allow to analyze the evolution of libraries. LibViews was developed to provide a better understanding of libraries and their versions, as well as the use of libraries in software projects. Thus, the software allows the understanding of the software’s dependencies, that is, third-party libraries used that interfere directly in the operation of the software. LibViews, therefore, can assist in the planning, development, and maintenance of projects, allowing the discovery of previously unknown information. As a use case, LibViews has been applied in a university administrative software project, proving the gains from its use to understand the relationship between the software project and its dependencies.
