Graph-Centric Tools for Understanding the Evolution and Relationships of Software Structures
We present a suite of small tools, implemented as a pipeline of text file manipulating scripts, that, on one hand, measure the evolution of any software structure that can be rep...

Exploiting the Map Metaphor in a Tool for Software Evolution
Software maintenanceand evolutionare the dominantactivities in the software lifecycle. Modularization can separate design decisions and allow them to be independently evolved, but...

Story-driven approach to software evolution
: From a maintenance perspective, only software that is well understood can evolve in a controlled and high-quality manner. Software evolution itself is a knowledge-driven process ...

Animated Visualization of Software History using Evolution Storyboards
The understanding of the structure of a software system can be improved by analyzing the system’s evolution during development. Visualizations of software history that provide o...

Empirical Evidence for SOC Dynamics in Software Evolution
We examine eleven large open source software systems and present empirical evidence for the existence of fractal structures in software evolution. In our study, fractal structures...
