GiveMe Infra: uma infraestrutura baseada em múltiplas visões interativas para apoiar a evolução distribuída de software

Abstract

There are several technologies developed to support collaborative software maintenance and evolution, as well as software visualization, in order to solve problems of companies and group of users. In many cases is necessary to integrate solutions already available in these areas to solve a given problem. These problems become intense when geographically dispersed groups are involved in software maintenance and evolution activities. In this sense, an infrastructure, named GiveMe Infra, was developed to support these activities when performed by co-located or geographically distributed teams. These activities are supported by different software visualizations that allow the user get different perspectives about the provided information. An experimental study were carried out aiming to verify the feasibility of the solution as well as the hypotheses. The obtained results related to the experiments and future works are presented.
