Ariadne: Navigating the Maze of Dependencies

Student: Cleidson de Souza, UCI/ISR

Collaborators: Stephen Quirk, UCI/ISR and Erik Trainer, UCI/ISR

Advisor: David F. Redmiles, UCI/ISR

Abstract: In this poster, we will present Ariadne, a Java tool for the Eclipse IDE, that links technical and task dependencies. Ariadne is based on the observation that technical dependencies among software components create task dependencies among the software developers implementing these components. We describe our approach for creating technical, socio-technical and social dependencies from a software project. Finally, we describe possible uses of our approach and tool.
