A 1968 study of the software process led, inter alia, to the observation that the software process constitutes a feedback system. Attempts at its management and improvement must t...
We analyze the main motivations that lead to the present need for supporting continuous software evolution, and discuss some of the reasons for change requirements. Achieving softw...
In practice, a pure top-down and refinement-based development process is not applicable. A more iterative and incremental approach is usually applied with respect to changing req...
The design and implementation of complex software systems ly spans multiple levels of abstractions. The concepts of el of abstractions and their interplay are represented by forma...
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...
