Abstract

In our experience the implementation of software systems frequently does not conform very closely to the planned architecture. For this reason we decided to implement source code architecture conformance checking support for Sotograph, our software analysis environment. Besides providing a conformance check for a single version of a system, Sotograph supports also trend analysis. I.e., the investigation of the evolution of a software system and the changes in architecture violations between a number of versions.
