Coping with huge amounts of data is one of the major problems in the context of software evolution. Current approaches reduce this complexity by filtering out irrelevant informatio...
Visualizing software evolution is essential for identifying design erosions that have occurred over the past releases. Making evolutionary aspects explicit via visual representati...
Software evolution plays a key role in the overall lifecycle of a software system. In this phase, software developers extend the capabilities and functionality of the system to me...
