Researchers in software engineering have attempted to improve software development by
mining and analyzing software repositories. Since the majority of the software engineering …

For popular software systems, the number of daily submitted bug reports is high. Triaging
these incoming reports is a time consuming task. Part of the bug triage is the assignment of a …

The increasing code complexity in modern enterprise software systems exceeds the
capabilities of most software engineers to understand the system's behavior by just looking …

Software repositories, such as source code, email archives, and bug databases, contain
unstructured and unlabeled text that is difficult to analyze with traditional techniques. We …

In this paper we describe a systematic approach to utilize the city metaphor for the
visualization of large software systems as evolving software cities. The main contribution is a …

Acquiring general understanding of large software systems and components from which
they are built can be a time consuming task, but having such an understanding is an …

To facilitate understanding the architecture of a software system, we developed SArF Map
technique that visualizes software architecture from feature and layer viewpoints using a city …

Software visualizations can provide a concise overview of a complex software system.
Unfortunately, as software has no physical shape, there is no 'natural'mapping of software to …

Software maps provide a general-purpose interactive user interface and information display
in software analytics. This paper classifies software maps as a containment-based treemap …

We propose the rectangular treemap layout algorithm EvoCells that maps changes in tree-
structured data onto an initial treemap layout. Changes in topology and node weights are …
