An Infrastructure for Software Release Analysis through Provenance Graphs
Nowadays, quickly evolving and delivering software through a continuous
delivery process is a competitive advantage and a way to keep software updated
in response to the frequent changes in customers' requirements. However, the
faster the software release cycle, the more challenging to track software
evolution. In this paper, we propose Releasy, a tool that aims at supporting
projects that use continuous delivery by generating and reporting their release
provenance. The provenance generated by Releasy allows graphical visualization
of the software evolution and supports queries to discover implicit
information, such as the implemented features of each release and the involved
developers. We also show in this paper a preliminary evaluation of Releasy in
action, generating the changelog of an open source project with the provenance
collected by our tool.Comment: Accepted at 6th Brazilian Workshop on Software Visualization,
