“…Also, these tools inform developers of possibilities of direct conflicts arising due to unchecked-in changes by concurrent developers in their local workspaces. State Treemap [2], Palantír [3], Jazz [4], FASTDash [5], WIPDash [6], Tesseract [7], Syde [8], CARES [9], Moomba [27], Elvin and TickerTape [28], Scamp [29], ATCoPE [30], etc., are examples of such CSD tools. Also, web-based CDEs like Collabode [14], CloudStudio [15], CEclipse [16], CoRed [17], IDEOL [18], provide real-time editing features between same shared artifacts.…”

Since more than a few decades now, Software Configuration Management (SCM) systems have played a key role in orchestrating concurrent activities of collaborative developers. These SCM systems help in maintaining consistency of volatile codebases that are being frequently modified in order to accommodate change. Additionally, various Collaborative Software Development (CSD) tools have been developed to supplement the underlying SCMs, and provide workspace awareness information to software developers. These tools inform developers about possibilities of arising inconsistencies in project codebase due to concurrent activities by collaborative developers on shared artifacts. This paper elaborates on scenarios of collaborative activities of software developers that introduce syntactic and semantic inconsistencies in the project repositories. Furthermore, a discussion on the current state-of-art research in the area of CSD tools is presented, together with their major contributions. The paper identifies, the crucial problem of semantic inconsistencies caused due to behavioral changes on artifacts that has not been sufficiently addressed by existing CSD tools. Finally, a novel method to capture indirect conflicts (syntactic and semantic) is proposed which uses dependency graphs, with proposed additional notations.

“…Researchers have proposed several tools to better support distributed pair programming [17][18][19][20][21][22].These existing tools adopt either an application sharing approach to enhance an existing editor suite or provide customized tools that include various groupware features such shared awareness [17]. Customized groupware tools do not support all of the features needed by pair programming and thus limit partner's ability to successfully accomplish their work.…”

Pair Programming (PP) that has gained extensive focus within pedagogical and industrial environments is a programming practice in which two programmers use the same computer to work together on analysis, design, and programming of the same segment of code. Distributed Pair Programming (DPP) system is a programming system to aid two programmers, the driver and the navigator, to finish a common task such as analysis, design and programming on the same software from different locations. This paper first reviews the existing DPP tools and discusses the interaction and coordination mechanism in DPP process. By means of activity theory and language-action theory, some basic requirements of the DPP system are presented. Then, a design framework of such system and functions of each sub-system are deeply analyzed. Finally, a system prototype is implemented by plug-in style in Microsoft Visual Studio environment

“…To visualise the activity of large shared code bases, the Augur visualisation suite may be used [11]. For web-based shared UML editing, Rosetta is a well known tool [12], and for distributed eXtreme Programming a new framework called Moomba has been recently been published [20].…”
