A new Software Engineering Research Group event has been scheduled:
Software Journeys
Getting familiar with the code is a challenging activity and therefore resource intensive. The larger the software code base, the larger the resource expenditure. We consider software development in the case of established software developed by mid to large mature teams working for mid to large size mature organizations. Any increase in the efficiency of this activity would result in significant competitive advantage for a for-profit software company. This thesis explores a new way of documenting code that could increase the productivity of software development.
The method consists of creating small, dynamically-ordered sets of code locations called Landmarks. These sets called Journeys are significant for a feature. The landmarks contain documentation related to system behavior and qualitative system state information at the time when the software execution reaches the locations. A plug-in tool for Eclipse was built in order to capture and allow consumption of this information during live system execution. This new type of documentation is very light and does not require additional software systems for management. This information is stored, and shared in a seamless manner via the existing source control systems.
