“Software evolution visualization: status, challenges and possible research directions”

Software evolution is one of the most important topics on software engineering and maintenance. It generally deals with large amounts of data. Software visualization aims to help people to understand software through the use of visual resources. It is a powerful aid to analyze and understand the large amount of data produced during software evolution. This talk will give a broad view of current Software Evolution Visualization (SEV) approaches, and explore how SEV research is structured, identifying key challenges for its use in practice and highlighting possible research directions for the area.
