Naissance de normes et de nouveaux outils
... Dernier exemple d´outil de gestion de tests, Software Diagnostics Studio est une solution d´aide à la décision de l´éditeur allemand Software Diagnostics. Il s´agit d´un outil graphique d´un nouveau genre rendant possible la visualisation de toutes sortes de données relatives à un projet. "On parle également de cartographie d´orientation", commente Klaus Lambertz (Verifysoft Technology, distributeur de la solution). "Le principe est de représenter un programme sous la forme d´un ensemble de barres ... Le chef de projet choisit les trois paramètres qu´il souhaite étudier et les affecte aux trois dimensions des barres. ... D´un seul coup d´oeil, le chef de projet peut identifier les fonctions qui doivent être améliorées ... "

Software Mining: Lifting Software Engineering Treasures
The world of business has long been showing us how to do it: revenue information and data on customer groups, sales channels and much more is systematically collected and analysed, elaborately processed in the form of key performance indicators, pie charts or diagrams or even displayed as real time dashboards. All these efforts have the sole purpose of enabling managers to base their decision-making processes on a solid foundation. In software projects, however, we still depend on manual analyses, studying long lists and information directly from developers. Thanks to Software Mining that could change soon. ...

Understand and improve complex applications faster : Pathfinder through the Code Jungle
... In such projects, the developers easily spend half their working hours trying to understand the system architecture and the internal workings of the software system in order to find errors. ...
... Software Diagnostics promises an alternative approach to this time-consuming process. The company was founded in 2009, motivated by basic research in software visualisation at the Hasso Plattner Institute (HPI) of Potsdam University. The HPI spin-off has specialised in extracting and analysing software engineering data from complex systems and visualising it as a software landscape. The internal workings of a system thereby become visible as a complete whole.
