Provides views that allow user to obtain information about the relationships between modules and components based on statistical analyzes performed by an SAE (Statistical Analysis Engine) on historical software data. A proof of concept was performed in order to verify the feasibility of the tool in software development activities in a real context of use. The tool deployment results in a software development company are presented.
