A Version Control Tool for Framework-based Applications

Abstract


 
 
 Framework based application development is increasingly being adopted by software organizations. Frameworks provide reuse of both software design and code, and supply more trustable applications, as the components used to implement them have been previously tested. However, version control is more problematic than in conventional software development, as it is necessary to control both the framework versions and the versions of the applications created with it. Furthermore, aiming to minimize the impact of system requirement changes, framework based software development and reengineering processes adopt the incremental approach, which is a “must” in agile methodologies. This approach makes easier to fulfill requests for system requirements change at any time during the process application. In that context, there is a lack of tools that support version control of applications created with frameworks. This paper presents a tool that aims to aid in the fulfillment of that need, contributing to quality assurance of the products that result from software development or reengineering.
 
 

Version control in crosscutting framework-based development

“…The GREN-WizardVersionControl [4] tool was developed to control only the application versions based on the GREN framework [2]. At certain moments, these applications need to be adapted to the source code and, if the framework is instantiated again to include a new system requirement, the whole code included previously in the system is lost.…”

Sistema de recompensa na ciencia

“…Mas, diversamente dos resultados obtidos no IQ onde observou-se um comportamento similar no uso de canais entre os diversos departamentos desse instituto (ver tabela 11.3), CAGNIN (1985) encontrou diferengas significativas entre as diversas areas de conhecimento da quimica no que diz respeito ao uso dos canais de publica98o. Nesse estudo mostrou-se que nas sub-areas mais basicas da quimica como a ffsico-qufmica, ha um significative numero de publica96es em canais estrangeiros ao passo que naquelas sub-areas mais aplicadas como qufmica agricola e engenharia qufmica, prevaleciam as publicag6es nacionais.…”
