“…In software visualization and repository mining, many visualization approaches focus on metrics and visualizations of the source code, for example by Nuzrath et al [16] or by Pinzger et al [17]. Very similar to our work is the work of Grabner et al [18] who extract data from version management, issue tracker, and CI system, store it in a database, and present it in web-based interactive visualizations. Also very similar are the works of Curt et al [19], who collect software trails from version control and issue tracking systems to build a provenance graph that helps understand software releases.…”

Software development is a complex process involving many people and development tools and their interactions; during development, a lot of data such as source code, documents, or software artifacts and information such as issues, discussions, or code analyses are generated or modified. In addition to the analysis and visualization of software systems, it is useful to analyze the software development process to obtain better information about the quality, reliability, and trustworthiness of the software. To gain insights and knowledge about software development processes, we extract the provenance of development processes, especially from version control systems for Git-based software projects, and visualize the provenance information using graph visualization, metrics representation, and development timelines; including an integration of these methods into a webbased dashboard. With the help of visual provenance representations, project managers can gain an overview and insights into development progress, effects of process changes, and interactions among developers and with external contributors, which we exemplify with a case study of a software with high social relevance.
