Analyzing Feature Traces to Incorporate the Semantics of Change in Software Evolution Analysis
Many of the approaches that analyze software evolution consider a static perspective of a system. Static analysis approaches focus on the evolution of static software entities suc...

Structural analysis and visualization of C++ code evolution using syntax trees
We present a method to detect and visualize evolution patterns in C++ source code. Our method consists of three steps. First, we extract an annotated syntax tree (AST) from each v...
