A Better Grip on Open Source Projects?
Over time, software applications grow, sometimes becoming so complex that one hand of the enterprise doesn’t have a grip or know what the other hand is doing to track how the application is laid out.
In the collaborative environment that under-girds open source software development, getting a grip on the project’s architecture — or tracking who has the grip — can be contentious, to put it mildly. Enter code scanning vendor Coverity, which is introducing service that maps open source code architecture.
Today, the company announced that it published the software architecture maps of 2,500 open source projects in a bid to help developers optimize their code. Coverity also released the architecture mapping tool that it uses to build those maps.
