Several important aspects of software product quality can be evaluated using dynamic
metrics that effectively capture and reflect the software's true runtime behavior. While the …

Many dynamic analysis tools for programs written in managed languages such as Java rely
on bytecode instrumentation. Tool development is often tedious because of the use of low …

Finding and fixing performance bottlenecks requires sound knowledge of the program that is
to be optimized. In this paper, we propose an approach for presenting performance-related …

Performance problems observed in production environments that have their origin in
program code are immensely hard to localize and prevent. Data that can help solve such …

Modern IDEs such as Eclipse offer static views of the source code, but such views ignore
information about the runtime behavior of software systems. Since typical object-oriented …

Background: Performance bugs can lead to severe issues regarding computation efficiency,
power consumption, and user experience. Locating these bugs is a difficult task because …

Locating features in large software systems is a fundamental maintenance task for
developers when fixing bugs and extending software. We introduce In Situ Impact Insight …

Information about source code changes is important for many software development
activities. As such, modern IDEs, including, IntelliJ IDEA and Visual Studio Code, show …

Due to non-deterministic behavior and thread interleaving of concurrent programs, the
debugging of concurrency and performance issues is a rather difficult and often tedious task …

End-user programmers such as scientists and engineers often adopt a visual domain-
specific language due to its easy learnability, but then they later encounter problems when …
