Run-Time Monitoring and Real-Time Visualization of Software Architectures

摘要: Software architecture stands at the backbone of any software system. An up-to-date description greatly contributes to its understanding, evaluation and evolution. Despite importance, is typically described only in preliminary development phases later becomes subject continuous degradation. Therefore, methods corresponding tool support for reconstructing current views a system's have been developed proposed. Current state art addresses reconstruction static dynamic separately. The conducted post-mortem using heavy weight infrastructures. We conceptually defined built light-weight run-time monitoring infrastructure that produces meaningful real-time visualizations object-level interactions. consider possibility observe behavior system positively impacts documentation architecture, understandability, communication trace ability usage scenarios. evaluated on project different stages. has shown very promising results.
