Abstract:
The success of Internet has provoked a mess in software maintenance. All applications that are designed to run on the Internet must not only fulfill all user requirements, which are more and more frequent and heterogeneous, but also must support the Internet evolutions. Further, they have to evolve at the Internet speed for not being deprecated and then unused.
The main problem is that internal factors that drive the maintenance of traditional applications, such as code quality for instance, becomes unpromising in front of external factors that broadly consider the evolution of Internet.
This talk addresses Internet speed software evolution. It aims to define factors and facilities that will drive the maintenance of applications designed to run on the Internet. For that purpose, it uses source code analysis coupled with statistical measures of large set of applications with the objective to exhibit evolution trends, and to leverage on them.
