Software archinaut
Humberto Cervantes, Rick Kazman · 2020
In this paper we present Software Archinaut-a tool used to help identify technical debt hotspots in an architecture, and manage the evolution of the architecture once these hotspots are discovered. Archinaut is a platform that integrates analyses from different tools. It supports three main usage scenarios: 1) understanding the architecture, 2) identifying technical debt hotspots, and 3) monitoring and controlling the evolution of the architecture. We illustrate these scenarios by using Apache Kafka as an example.
