The filters generate HTML and other data that form the SEEWeb. SEE users continue to use the SEE to perform engineering tasks while the SEEWeb filters extract data and synthesize information from the SEE for presentation to SEEWeb users. Flow of SEE data to SEEWeb information prototypes and plans. The problem reports are partially completed with information extracted from the configuration management tool set and partially completed by interactive users. In addition, the group is expanding the tool filter capabilities to include personal computer-based tools such as Microsoft Word and LogicWorks BPWin.
Improved problem report query capability in second generation SEEWeb prototype.
These features will be demonstrated in the overall context of change management within the GTN development project where the opportunities for change range from traditional product support to major product evolutions. Summary The SEEWeb provides a hypertext interface to the information stored in a software engineering environment. The purpose of this interface is to provide a window on management and engineering activities that makes useful knowledge out of the data created by projects. As engineering and management staff generate artifacts, such as designs, models, software, plans, schedules, and reports, the information in these artifacts can be collected and explicitly interrelated with hypertext links. The resulting hyperweb can improve communication between program participants and reduce program management and oversight costs.
