Augur: Supporting Software Development Visually
Poster
Student: Jon Froehlich
Advisor: Paul Dourish
Abstract: Distributed software development teams struggle with two sources of complexity: the complexity of the source code (the artifact) and the complexity of the activities around that artifact. We've developed a prototype system (Augur) that reveals information about these two sources of complexity together in a shared visual frame.
Our goal is to increase developer understanding of both the source code and its development activity, and, crucially, the relationship between them.
