GAMMA: Continuous Evolution of Software after
Deployment
|
Overview
The Gamma project of Georgia Tech proposes a new approach to
improve software quality through continuous monitoring, analysis, and
improvment of software systems after their deployment. The motivation
for the project is the fundamental shift that we witnessed in the
world of computing. We moved from a situation characterized by a few
software system running on mostly disconnected computers to a
situation in which software is virtually everywhere, runs on mostly
connected computers, and there is a large number of resources
available to the single users. Thank to this shift, we have the
opportunity of leveraging field data and resources to improve the way
in which we perform software engineering tasks.
Many software engineering tasks are limited by the fact of being
performed in-house, on developers' platforms, and using developer's
provided inputs that may not be representative of the way the software
is used in the field. To overcome these limitations, we use field data
and resources to augment software engineering tasks.
