SpyWare: a change-aware development toolset

Romain Robbes, Michele Lanza

Abstract

Our research is driven by the motivation that change must be put in the center, if one wants to understand the complex processes of software evolution. We built a toolset named SpyWare which, using a monitoring plug-in for integrated development environments (IDEs), tracks the changes that a developer performs on a program as they happen. SpyWare stores these first-class changes in a change repository and offers a plethora of productivity-enhancing IDE extensions to exploit the recorded information.
