Abstract

This extended poster abstract presents a software visualization tool (CodeVizard) that helps researchers and managers to analyze software repository data. The tool focuses on identifying areas of risks in software development projects, such as: Code Smells, degrading architectures, increasing software complexity, lack of documentation, process violations, and issues of code ownership. CodeVizard has been used to support six empirical studies, whose results have been published. This extended abstract gives a short summary of the important empirical results and features.
