What's Evowave?

EVOWAVE realizes a novel visualization metaphor [Magnavita et al. 2015] . It is able to visualize different types of data generated in software evolution using both overview and detail approaches. EVOWAVE can represent a huge number of events at a glance. Several mechanisms of interactions allow the user to explore the visualization in detail. EVOWAVE has one perspective, implemented in a circular layout. This open source tool can be applied to different software engineering tasks and domains. To validate its benefits, we conducted three exploratory studies using EVOWAVE in three different software engineering domains: software collaboration, library dependency, and logical coupling [Magnavita 2016] .
