Software in the City: Visual Guidance Through Large Scale Software Projects
نویسندگان
چکیده
The size of software projects at Microsoft are constantly increasing. This leads to the problem that developers and managers at Microsoft have trouble to comprehend and overview their own projects in detail. Regarding that there are some research projects at Microsoft with the goal to facilitate analyses on software projects. Those projects provide databases with metadata of the development process which developers, managers, and researchers can use. As an example, the data can be used for recommendation systems and bug analyses. In the research field of visualization software there are a lot of approaches that try to visualize large software projects. One approach which seems to reach that goal is the visualization of software with real life metaphors. This paper combines existing research projects at Microsoft with a visualization approach that uses the city metaphor. The goal is to guide managers and developers in their day to day development decisions and to improve the comprehension of their software projects.

متن کاملA Fuzzy Decision-Making Methodology for Risk Response Planning in Large-Scale Projects
Risk response planning is one of the main phases in the project risk management and has major impacts on the success of a large-scale project. Since projects are unique, and risks are dynamic through the life of the projects, it is necessary to formulate responses of the important risks. The conventional approaches tend to be less effective in dealing with the impreciseness of risk response p...
متن کاملSoftware Visualization in the Large
Software is invisible, disappearing into les on disks. The invisible nature of software contributes to low programmer productivity by hiding system complexity, particularly for large team-oriented projects. Visualization can help software engineers cope with this complexity and thereby increase programmer productivity. We describe four innovative visual representations of software that scale to...
