Empirical Metadata Maintenance in Source Code Development Process
Karol Rástočný, Mária Bieliková · 2015
A management of software development process is a crucial part of the software engineering, from which the success of software projects is dependent. This management mostly relays upon quality and freshness of software metrics, especially empirical software metrics. But empirical software metrics are sensitive to source code modifications and also to developers' activities. In this paper we proposed approach for a maintenance of empirical metadata stored in information tags. The approach covers main maintenance actions - creating missing, repairing invalidated and removing unrepairable information tags. The maintenance is provided via tagging rules executed after matching predefined templates in a stream of developers' actions. We also introduces a set of information tags for supporting software development process and we describe their utilization in teaching a subject Team project.
