Abstract

Too often, software engineering (SE) tool research is focused on creating small, stand-alone tools that address rarely understood developer needs. We believe that research should instead provide developers with flexible environments and interoperable tools, and then study how developers appropriate and tailor these tools in practice. Although there has been some prior work on this, we feel that flexible tool environments for SE have not yet been fully explored. In particular, we propose adopting the Web 2.0 idea of mashups and mashup environments to support SE practitioners in analytic activities involving multiple information sources.
