SW-AVR 2014 - International Workshop on Software Analysis, Visualization and Refactoring (SW-AVR)

The continuous maintenance of software is very important to improve quality or to meet changing requirements. The continuous maintenance of software often starts with analysis then followed by refactoring. Nowadays many models, metrics, tools have emerged that can support designer to assess, analyze software and plan the refactoring. Especially methods that use a visual representation of the software generated directly from code base are of growing interest. Despite the growth of such approaches and tools an integrated view is still missing of how those methods and tools can be leveraged in different scenarios for improving quality attributes or coping with changes. The proposed workshop solicits research and industry practice regarding the pros and cons of those methods and tools and further to form a baseline perspective of how they can work together to contribute to more effective software maintenance.
