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 research on software development based on data obtained from project repositories and code forges is increasingly gaining attention in the software engineering research ...
Versioning systems such as CVS or Subversion exhibit a large potential to investigate the evolution of software systems. They are used to record the development steps of software ...
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...
An approach to recover object oriented design patterns from design and code is presented. The pattern recovery process is based on a multi-stage filtering strategy to avoid combin...
