“…Using SPCC, a project manager can understand the state of a project and check its quality more easily. From this, the Specula approach has been proposed [8], [9]. This approach collects measurement data based on the GQM model.…”

It is important for project stakeholders to identify the states of projects and quality of products. Although metrics are useful for identifying them, it is difficult for project stakeholders to select appropriate metrics and determine the purpose of measuring metrics. We propose an approach that defines the measured metrics by GQM method to identify tendency in projects and products based on Trend Pattern. Additionally, we implement a tool as a Jenkins Plugin to visualize an evaluation results based on GQM method. We perform an industrial case study, which objects are two software development projects. In our industrial case study, we can identify the problem that product contains. As our future work, we will adopt our approach and GQM Plugin to software development project continuously to assess their effectiveness in the long term.

“…Liggesmeyer et al [16] also provide a tree like visualization for faults in a distributed system, using a gossip based approach for the dianostic of these faults [13]. This approach is interesting in that it provides a three dimensional layout of the computing hosts, and uses transparent containers to display different clusters, however it is limited to only displaying fault information.…”

Effective visualization is critical to developing, analyzing, and optimizing distributed systems. We havedeveloped OverView, a tool for online/offline distributed systems visualization, that enables modular layout mechanisms, so that different distributed system high-level programming abstractions such as actors or processes can be visualized in intuitive ways. OverView uses by default a hierarchical concentric layout that distinguishes entities from containers allowing migration patterns triggered by adaptive middleware to be visualized. In this paper, we develop a force-directed layout strategy that connects entities according to their communication patterns in order to directly exhibit the application communication topologies. In force-directed visualization, entities`' locations are encoded with different colors to illustrate load balancing. We compare these layouts using quantitative metrics including communication to entity ratio, applied on common distributed application topologies. We conclude that modular visualization is necessary to effectively visualize distributed systems since no one layout is best for all applications.
