Abstract

Incremental software change adds new functionality to software. It is the foundation of software evolution, maintenance, iterative development, agile development, and other software processes. Highly interactive tool JRipples provides the programmer with the organizational support that makes the incremental change process easier and more systematic. JRipples supports impact analysis and change propagation, the two most difficult activities of the incremental change.
