Software Evolution
- June 16th – July 10th
Real-world software needs to evolve continually in order to cope with ever-changing software requirements. The objective during evolution is to modify the existing software product while preserving its integrity. In order to understand and improve software evolution, it needs to be addressed as a business issue as well as a technology issue, and therefore is fundamentally interdisciplinary.
The course will provide the participants an overview of the main practices and technologies involved in software evolution. It will focus on topics such as: evolutionary development process models, software change management, program comprehension, software reverse engineering, mining software repositories, etc. The content will be highly practical and will draw from industry practice and state of the art research.
